While the main living RM proponent Chris Date doesn't seem to care there is a promise in RM for neural networks, even though, as it is stated, is is a single-point-of-information model. My hunch is that appropriate hardware (no, simulations on single/few processors just don't cut it) needs to be accessible to garage-workers before we see how this works out.
