Our tissue can serve as a “biophysical reservoir” for data processing, blurring the line between man and machine.

This way, each layer is composed of functions from the previous layer (something like h(f(g(x)))). It has been shown that through this composition, we can learn any non-linear complex function.

The Brain and Other Non-Linear Complex Systems Cognition ... way to break apart complex time series data into less complex trigonometric functions. It is named after the nineteenth-century French ...

Thanks to these abilities, they can already topple complex linear differential equations exponentially faster than classical machines. Researchers have long hoped they could similarly tame nonlinear ...

their migration in simple and complex interleukin-8 (IL-8) gradients can be tested. The cells exhibit strong directional migration toward increasing concentrations of IL-8 in linear gradients.

Ottino draws his inspiration for this view from his research in complex systems and non-linear dynamics, which he has written technical books about. True innovation isn't a thing but the result ...
