The synthesis of cellular automata and artificial neural networks (ANN) in the form of a connectionist system (C-system) model is proposed. The issues of standardization in science are discussed. The general historical origins and discrepancies of genus specific ideas for finite automata, ANN, cellular automata, and distributed parallel computing are shown. The focus is on the concept of a connector, the difference between a parameter and a state variable, and the possibility of duplex link instead of unidirectional. Three-phase operation of the oscillator element.
Igor Valerevich (2025) studied this question.
