despite there being various abstract automata that possess super-Turing computational power – most notably analog artificial neural networks – their performance under normal circumstances may not exhibit this feature. This detracts from the dynamical systems perspective, since what is lacking from appeals to these sorts of systems is any indication that they are the kinds of things that, when physically realized, retain their additional computational power.

Dynamical systems such as AANNs, while not offering greater computational power, may nonetheless offer something else – something not provided by classical mechanisms, yet still computational in the traditional sense. Exploring this possibility is left as a future exercise. (68cd)
