Hmm, perhaps then fixed point iteration and most anything to do with
fixed points in mathematics and their related applications in computer
science could be of interest to connect some neurons. And speaking of
neurons, supervised learning might also be related. You'll probably see
sooner or later that dealing with feedback mathematically is often about
order and respecting order when doing something with the ordered bits
and pieces. Like Banach's fixed point theorem for the continuous case or
Tarski's fixed point theorem for the discrete case. For what it's worth,
just had my morning coffee and that's bound to make me think of unlikely
things.
