Architecture

LSTM

also called long short-term memory

decade2 connections

a gated loop that remembers over long stretches and eases the vanishing gradient

Where it sits

The prism has six jobs across and eight layers down. Its primary cell isrepresent × L1. Hatched cells cannot exist — a GPU does not learn, an institution does not infer.

What must come first — and what it unlocks

Left to right is reading order, derived from the prerequisite_of edges. Nothing here is hand-ordered: the diagram is the graph.

nothing comes first — this is a starting pointLSTMnothing depends on it yet — a leaf in the reading order

This page is a projection of one node in src/data/concepts.ts. It has no prose file of its own — 230 declared edges produce all 236 of these pages. Edit an edge and both endpoints change.
