    It seems as if you’re using an analogy to how human brains learn, but aren’t being explicit that it’s only an analogy. Or are you asserting that this describes how human brains learn?

    Love it! It's a very helpful and clear visualization. Thanks very much for putting this together.

    Thanks for sharing. I am not concerned about the brain analogy - it is a good explanation of the algorithm.

    I've always loved interactive learning, and this is a great example of it.

    Really well put together, and love the interactivity. Thanks for sharing!

    Are you fabricating a story about how a brain learns? This seems more like game design over neurology. It's a cool story but could use some clarity and rigor, and boundaries about what you are claiming vs the story you are telling around potential game design. Otherwise you will get pushback from the scientific community and really anyone who is confused about the clarity of your message.
