8.10 Five recurring deep shapes

The applications later in the book instantiate a small family of diagram shapes.

Shape

Declaration

Deep realization

Later example

Parallel paths

two serial routes agree

shared modules with route-specific composition

GIRL, ALLORA

Restricted factorization

edge or local data arise from a smaller object

encoder plus constrained decoder

LINCS–RLHF

Descent diagram

local models agree on overlaps and glue

local networks and learned restrictions

SID

Typed apex

faces restrict from an information-rich object

view encoders, gauges, global decoder

RADAR

Controlled interaction

generated update fields close or compose

skills, adapters, intervention modules

LASKO; BRIDGE; SKFM

Table 8.2 Recurring deep-sketch shapes. Domain semantics determine what each factorization means.

This classification does not prove the domain-specific claims of those systems. It shows that once their maps are realized as parametrized modules, the same serial, monoidal, tangent, and learner semantics can be reused.
