nonneural positive

Morphology

nonneural = neural (transparent) = non + neural

The negative prefix 'non-' is added to 'neural' to indicate the absence of neural (e.g., neural-network-based) methods; the formation is regular.

Etymology

Nonneural is made from non- meaning 'not' and neural meaning 'related to nerves', the same root as the everyday word nerve. So in computing it names a method that is 'not based on neural networks', which are computer systems modelled on how the brain works.
