27 Mar weight

In most of the places where the word “weight” appears in the Understanding Context blog, it refers to the abstract concept of level of confidence or trust, or the amount of activation that spreads from one neuron to another in the brain, or from one node to another in an artificial neural network. When the aggregate weights coming into a node (or neuron) reach or exceed the threshold, action potential is further propagated.
