With its ability to represent variable sized trees in fixed width patterns,RAAM is a bridge between connectionist and symbolic systems. In the past, due to limitations in our understanding, its development plateaued. By examining RAAM from a dynamical systems perspective we overcome most of the problems that previously plagued it. In fact, using a dynamical systems analysis we can now prove that not only is RAAM capable of generating parts of a context free language (a(n)b(n)) but is capable of expressing the whole language.
