Hope you enjoy this reading, all feedback is welcome.
But you can’t?
It didn’t reason its way down a branch, it made coinflips all along the way. So its not actually thinking, just weighted coin flips. There’s no ‘why’ it chose a branch. Just the result of a coin flip.
You can’t ask a coin why it chose heads. You can unroll the physics of it all day long til the cow comes home. But it still doesn’t help you on the next one.
It’s not really coin flips it and random adjustments of weighted values that decides which nodes are activated which, plus random adjustments, influences the next node activation until out
Statistical outputs are not as interesting as you think?
Like sure, but its still just a probabilistic outcome. Not one reasoned at any step.
