Since delay is inevitable, it is necessary to model NNs by functional differential/difference equations, that is, differential/difference equations with delayed states.

[Use when]

Use when a design assumes instantaneous communication between nodes.

[Why it matters]

Inevitability forces a different math, not a hope that latency goes away.

#c85Delays resulting from the communication mode among neurons are classified as transmission delay, leakage delay, and distributed delay.Use when a model lumps all latency into one parameter. #c87In the process of communication among neurons, the latency issue is inevitable, which is identified as transmission delay.Use when "network lag" is treated as outside the model. #c88In addition, a representative delay that is fundamentally different from both transmission delay and distributed delay often appears in the…Use when stability fails and everyone only inspects forward-path latency.
