I refer to "stumped by change", which admittedly is rather
inexact in itself. I am not familiar with "stochastic convergence",
although perhaps there is another name for it?

A characteristic of ART nets is that they are capable of dealing with
realtime input and performing dynamic characterisations.

A good start would be "Neural Networks & Natural Intelligence" by
Stephen Grossberg (ed), 1988, MIT Press.  Enjoy.
