P.S. I think alot about information flow problems and would enjoy
discussions on that...if anyone wants to chat.
For a real "juicy" discussion of information flow in non-linear
systems see:
"Strange Attractors, Chaotic Behavior, and Information Flow"
Robert Shaw, Z. Naturforsch, 36a, 80-112 1981
This discusses the information flow characteristics of non-linear
systems in order to gain insight on how non-linear systems self-organize.
(This self-organization aspect of non-linear dynamical systems
is an aspect of neural networks. See for example Kohonen's work
on self-organizing feature maps in "Self-Organization and
Associative Memory" Springer-Verlag 1984. This feature map stuff
is a type of unsupervised learning.)
