The Perceptron and the Birth of Neural Networks

Early attempts at machine learning drew from neuroscience models of cognition.

Symbolic vs. Connectionist AI

The fundamental debate that shaped decades of artificial intelligence research.

Backpropagation and the Deep Learning Revolution

How a simple calculus trick, once dismissed, transformed an entire field.

The Transformer Architecture

Attention mechanisms replaced recurrence and changed sequence processing.

Emergent Capabilities in Large Language Models

Unexpected behaviors arise when models reach sufficient scale.

The symbolic-connectionist debate represents the deepest fault line in AI research. Symbolic AI treats intelligence as the manipulation of discrete symbols according to explicit rules — programs that reason through logic, search, and knowledge representation. Connectionist approaches treat intelligence as an emergent property of distributed numerical computation — networks that learn patterns from data without explicit programming.

The core disagreements center on three axes: whether knowledge should be explicit or implicit; whether reasoning should be compositional or holistic; and whether learning should be structured or tabula rasa.

Engrams don't just hold knowledge. They cross-pollinate.

You never create a page.

You never drag something into a folder.

You never write a tag.

You never maintain a link.

You never organize anything.

The system does all of it.
