APPERNDIX B Development of connection weights Holistic model For the holistic model training resulted in a diametrically opposed development of connection weights of the two output nodes for the two numbers: connection weights to one output node were comparatively high for small numbers and decreased with increasing magnitude of the number while this pattern was reversed for the connection weights to the other output node. Here, connection weights increased as the magnitude of the to-berepresented number increased. As can be seen from Figure 1 increase / decrease of connection weights with increasing magnitude did not follow a linear function, but rather seems to be of compressed (logarithmic) nature (see below for a discussion). Figure B: Connection weights from the input to the output node for each of the two to-be-compared numbers and each output node as observed for the holistic model (after 1.000, 10.000 and 50.000 training cycles). 279
