Architecture

Recurrent neural network

also called RNN

decade4 connections

a network that carries a hidden state forward, one step at a time

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.

Before it: Sequence model

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.
