Abstract

Reversibility (or the lack of it)is one of the most important properties any physical system, model, or theory may have. Here I explore a number of reversibility (irreversibility)aspects of neural processing systems, with reversibility taken in the widest possible sense. The format is nonstandard: far more questions than answers.
