A review of a paper I submitted to a neural network journal is taking awhile. In the meantime, for anyone who might be interested, there is a conference paper online with an overview of the content. It concerns a proposed mathematical semantic model for neural networks: M. J. Healy (2000) "Category Theory Applied to Neural Modeling and Graphical Representations", Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN2000), Como, Italy. It's available at http://cialab.ee.washington.edu/ . Click on "Publications", then "Selected Publications", and scroll down. The same site has a paper on topological semantics, the other part of the proposed model. Developing and applying it is a major part of my work right now, so I would welcome comments from anyone who might be interested.
