Advantages of IANNs over Boolean Genetic Circuits Boolean genetic circuits are fundamentally limited by their design logic: every input gets collapsed into a binary state, and the circuit operates on those discrete values. That works for simple switch-like decisions, but most physiologically relevant signals (metabolite concentrations, osmotic gradients, and quorum sensing molecule titres), exist on a continuum, and forcing them through a hard threshold discards information. IANNs avoid this by processing analog inputs directly, generating graded outputs that reflect the actual magnitude of the input rather than just which side of a threshold it fell on.Hugoen
