Two-valued Logic

Many of the architectures analyzed build upon a substrate of two-valued logic. This effectively precludes the capability of discerning shades of meaning, although several authors claim that such a mechanism could be layered in or added in a case-specific way. To add the capability, one would add huge memory and computational requirements, byte-for-byte, compared to an architecture which inherently deals with continuous variables. Note that to perform operations on continuous variables, more primitive operations are needed beyond logical operators.

The following architectures are built on two-valued logic:


The following architectures explicitly utilize continuous variables:
