Structure in computation

The actual computational operations a model performs, which the paper argues need not mirror representational structure

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

concept

data structures
related_to
Conventional programming constructs like variables, arrays; claimed unnecessary for Elephant programs.
Structure in representations
associated_with
The central question of whether representational geometry implies corresponding computational structure

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Architecture as structure (computing)concept0.848
