ALMA · Electric Brain — 9 Motorized Weights That Learn

A tiny perceptron network drawn as a real relay-logic circuit: 2 input bulbs feed 3 hidden relays and 1 output bulb. Each of the 9 connections is a potentiometer whose knob is turned by a small motor. Learning is literal: the perceptron rule computes an error, the motors rotate the pots, the resistances change, the currents shift. The math is exact — the wheels, glows and clicks are honest read-outs of it.

9 weights (pot angles)
Bulb = a value/signal · Relay = a threshold (fires when its coil current beats the spring) · Pot + motor = one learnable weight.
