Figure 6. Transformation of Boolean update rules into continuous activation functions.

Figure 6

Boolean step functions are replaced by positive and negative sigmoid Hill functions. The continuous homologues of the AND and OR gates are obtained by interpolating the Boolean functions (cf. the left-hand and middle column) resulting in the mathematical expressions shown in the right-hand column. For mathematical details of this transformation see [92].
