I can't be certain of anything from my own little armchair, but this looks to be another uneasy nod and a ray of affiramtion from the far end of the tunnel, at least toward rudimentary perceptual control..

Chaos as a mechanism of reorganization?

Very interesting, especially, I would think, to Peter Small. The
article doesn't give a reference to anything that would let us know
what the Japanese actually did, though. That would be nice to have.

I agree. Chaotic learning may be a version of reorganization based on
something other than the E. coli method. Hard to say anything about it
without knowing what they did.
Best,

I read that article with interest. Although it is not explained how
their system works, the general principles are now beginning to
appear in a variety of different applications.
The best source for understanding the mechanisms involved is J. A.
Kelso's book "Dynamic Patterns: The Self-Organization of Brain and
Behavior"
If anyone is interested, I'm in the process of writing a new book to
explain how these principles relate to current neuroscience research.
