If you
think of this neural net as a sequence of steps, where you're processing information at each step and feeding it to the next one, then one of the goals from the
algorithmic standpoint is to reduce that to the smallest number of steps yet get the
same results.
Report writing through the appropriate steps in an investigation of scientific experiment, or procedural writing through the
same or other elements of English are just a few of the means in which this (
algorithmic)
thinking can be accessed, utilised and put into practice.
