Re-visiting the echo state property

Paper summary

Examines when input-driven reservoirs forget initial conditions. Counterexamples show why a weight-matrix spectral-radius heuristic is not a general nonlinear echo-state guarantee. Stronger stability conditions and properties of the driving input matter.

Relevance to the project

Assistant interpretation: fading initial conditions is different from sustained endogenous variation. Snapshot spectral radius cannot certify a changing, delayed nonlinear network.
