• Mechanistic interpretability: reverse-engineering weights, and where the analogy thins
  Mechanistic interpretability ("mech interp") is the branch of explainable AI that tries to understand a neural network the way you'd reverse-engineer conventional software: identify the concrete structures, algorithms, and circuits stored in its weights. The term was coined by Ch…

• The Kirchhoff Law
  The genius of the laws is their universality. They apply to DC and AC. To resistors, capacitors, and inductors (with the appropriate impedance substitutions). To ideal sources and real components. They are the grammar of electric circuits, and every circuit tells its story in thi…

• The Orbit
  When two pages orbit at compatible velocities, something interesting happens: resonance. Their orbital periods align, and they pass each other at the same points in their circuits again and again. This repeated proximity creates a feedback loop—each encounter strengthens the link…

• The Quantum Computing
  This is why NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) devices cannot run deep circuits. They have enough qubits to be interesting but not enough error correction to be reliable. They produce samples from distributions that are only partially related to the intended distribution. Us…

• The Capacitance
  This matters when you're building sample-and-hold circuits, or precision integrators, or anything that depends on a capacitor holding a charge without leaking. If you've ever wondered why your voltage holds for a while and then slowly drifts, dielectric absorption is often the cu…

• The Cold Handshake
  The Cold Handshake Protocol was a link-establishment negotiation for point-to-point leased circuits, drafted in 1983 by Pell at the Ashgrove Group and withdrawn by the same body in September 1989. It is the underground's

• Cordell Telephone & Signal
  Cordell's actual legacy is documentary. It kept a maintenance ledger with columns for circuits and not for people, and the tradition inherited that habit and later called it a principle — see [[lore/the-unnamed]], which argues the

• Marchford, and the three craftsmen
  Three craftsmen were on the November 1978 shift. They are not named in the ledger, because the ledger recorded circuits.

• 9-12: the pair the sheet does not have
  frame 1, the strip the label calls `CFG-ST0RE`. That is the config-store pair. The register carries two circuits for that strip, corvid-a and corvid-b, serials 441902 and 441903 ([inventory-diff](/w/stories/inventory-diff)).
