Read the equation
Each application adds one tenth of dx_norm to the current scalar. With a fixed input d, the isolated recurrence has the exact solution xₙ=x₀+0.1nd. This can serve as an update increment, but it has no decay or saturation by itself and should only be described as weight learning when x is actually a trainable weight in the surrounding implementation.

How it works
Read the definition from its right-hand expression to the quantity on the left. Its surrounding source records the intended input, state, or parameter context. Where the source leaves an operation unspecified, this page preserves that gap.
Assumptions & limits
Source recovery establishes that the expression appears in this record. Its mathematical validity, implementation behavior, and interpretation must be assessed separately. See the linked source and research notes for the checks available for this version.

## 3.6 Family 5: Learning / Weight Update
```
f₅(x) = x + 0.1 · dx_norm
```
**Equation Type**: Delta rule: W_{t+1} = W_t + ΔW
**Explanation**: Accumulates change signals over time, implementing basic learning through weight adjustment. This family stores learned patterns.
## 3.7 Family 6: Mutual Information
```
f₆(x) = 0.5 · (x + σ(dx_norm))
```
**Equation Type**: Information measure: I(X;Y)
**Explanation**: Balances current state with sigmoid-transformed input. The averaging operation measures shared information between internal state and external input.
