The dynamical model is a Perceptron

Van Gelder's example of a dynamical model is a Perceptron. The similarity o f dynamical models and Perceptrons in turn exemplifies the close relationsh ip between dynamical and algorithmic models. Both are models, not literal d escriptions of brains. The brain states of standard modeling are better con ceived as processes in the dynamical sense, but algorithmic models remain u seful.
