A strict definition is almost never required outside maths. We got so far being unable to define "woman" it turns out.

The most naive meaning of understanding, such as "demonstrating ability to apply a concept to a wide range of situations" is good enough for many cases, Goedel be damned.

Agree. But computers are applied math. So it stands to reason that neutral networks require a strict definition

Your brain is a neural network. All education is therefore applied maths as well, right?
