You're right, Bob. I was extremely sloppy in my terminology. Apologies
to all. I MEANT to say:

"Assuming you have a typical Nv with a resistor going to ground at the
input TO THE INVERTER,"

To compound the error, I carried on in the same vein in a subsequent
note:

should have been, "In a typical 4 Nv microcore, what causes a neuron to
fire is when the input to the previous INVERTER switches from high to
low."

And furthermore:

> A PNC works by keeping the neuron input clamped to ground ...

should have been, "A PNC works by keeping the neuron INVERTER clamped to
ground."

Again, sorry to everyone I confused. I think I'll crawl into a hole
somewhere for the next couple of days.

Regards,
Bruce
