It is so easy to get bogged down in the mathematics of RNNs that new learners lose perspective of the dynamics. I love that you have flipped that around.

I favor the approach of understanding the dynamics of machine learning. The mathematics are then easily distilled from the nature of the process.

This is a very clear description of that process. Thank you for it!

Glad to be of service. Yeah, I just couldn't see what RNNs were doing through all of the neural net stuff. Much easier to think of it as just gradually transforming a vector. I also can't see linear algebra w/o visualizing different size boxes :)
