The perceptron network takes randomboolean(true/false) and it outputs outputboolean(not random!!). The random generation of targetboolean is independent from the generation of outputboolean. Perceptrons generally learn functions. If you have $$f(A)=B$$ and $$f(A)=C$$ and $$B\neq C$$, then $$f$$ is not a function. EDIT: To predict temporal behavior you should add some time dependent variable in the input of the network. The answer is no. What you want to do is to predict randomness.
