Title: Attractor FCM

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.27947v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper an attractor FCM is created, tested, and analyzed. This FCM is neither a hebbian based nor agentic, nor a hybrid; it rather is a gradient descent based, physics constrained, Jacobian version of an FCM. Moreover, this model has several quirks; it uses residual memory, back propagation through time, and a fixed point anchor that is recursively implemented to update its weights. The residuals update the recursive part without losing th
