    The functions and achitecture has been so optimized and simplified, that it is just matrix multiplication now. It’s just math now.

    “Just math” is used to describe essentially everything in science. You’re implying that a mathematical model can’t predict reality which is just incorrect.

    We use math to accurately describe all kinds of natural processes and phenomenon. Mathematical models are the foundation of most fields of science because they accurately model reality.

    And, because matrices a useful mathematical tool for describing complex systems (here, the connections between large numbers of neurons) they’re often used in many fields.

    This is why we can predict time dilation in the GPS satellites used to locate your phone or how air will flow over the blades in jet turbines: because mathematical models of a process completely describe the process.
