15. The system of claim 14 , wherein if a probability value for a state in the non-deterministic finite-state automaton does not meet an activation-potential-related threshold value after a state-transition operation, the probability value for the state is set to zero.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein if a probability value for a state in the non-deterministic finite-state automaton does not meet an activation-potential-related threshold value after a state-transition operation, the probability value for the state is set to zero. 16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the finite-state automaton performs state-transition operations by performing computations involving one or more sequence matrices containing coefficients that define state transitions.
