• Was Amari's 1972 associative-memory model ever independently applied to developmental biology before the 2016 Taherian Fard Hopfield-landscape paper?

• The 2016 Taherian Fard Hopfield-landscape paper was not the first Hopfield-style attractor model of cell fate — Wang 2011, Lang 2014, and Maetschke & Ragan 2014 preceded it

• No independent application of Amari's 1972 associative-memory model to developmental biology has been found; the cell-fate Hopfield-landscape lineage traces to Hopfield and spin-glass physics, not Amari

• Dense associative memory uses a higher-order energy function to store more patterns than it has neurons, via a duality with deep-learning networks

• Hopfield's 1982 associative memory is a system of Ising spins whose retrieval dynamics minimize an energy function borrowed from spin-glass physics
