ALMA · The Choshen — Optical Oracle

Twelve gem waveguides carry beams of light that split, recombine and interfere. A query lights an input pattern; complex light amplitudes propagate through four coupling layers — a genuine matrix-multiply-by-light (an optical neural forward pass) — and one gem glows brightest as the answer.

Coupling tunes how strongly neighbouring waveguides trade light — 0 = isolated gems, high = strong mixing/interference.
