      (Or "Hopfield model") A kind of

      neurons (see {McCulloch-Pitts}), but all are both input and
      output, and all are connected to all others in both directions
      (with equal weights in the two directions).   Input is applied
      simultaneously to all neurons which then output to each other
      and the process continues until a stable state is reached,
      which represents the network output.
