Yes, it executing an algorithm that you just described in prose is nice and all, but please explain to me how this bit works: > Yes, I understand the process you described. It is similar to the standard multiplication algorithm, but instead of starting with the units digit and moving left, it starts with the most significant digit and moves right. Additionally, it includes an extra step of multiplying the partial product by the PLACE value and adding it to SUM. Note that there was nothing instructing the network to compare the two algorithms. On the contrary, the poster wanted to avoid any connection between the two as not to confuse the network. So it knows what a "multiplication algorithm" is (even if it has the wrong idea of it) and has this knowledge readily enough accessible that it can notice if a different algorithm is similar to it - and then compare the two? And all of that unprompted? Where is your next word prediction now?
