In addition, a representative delay that is fundamentally different from both transmission delay and distributed delay often appears in the negative feedbacks (i.e., leakage terms), which is named leakage delay.

[Use when]

Use when stability fails and everyone only inspects forward-path latency.

[Why it matters]

Feedback paths have their own delay mode — distinct from hop-to-hop lag.

#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. #c86Since delay is inevitable, it is necessary to model NNs by functional differential/difference equations, that is, differential/difference…Use when a design assumes instantaneous communication between nodes. #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.
