Local learning: learning without a global gradient

What if a network could learn without ever propagating an error backward? Three families of purely local rules against backpropagation.

Structural plasticity: when the network rewrites its own architecture

Creating and removing neurons and connections at runtime, instead of freezing the topology before training.

The Living, Persistent Neuron

A neuron that does not merely compute the present: it keeps a biography and uses it.
