And in fact the big breakthrough in “deep learning” that occurred around 2011 was associated with the discovery that in some sense it can be easier to do (at least approximate) minimization when there are lots of weights involved than when there are fairly few. There are several key parts.

And indeed simple models of evolution might give one the intuition that this would happen.

But mostly all I could do was scour books on art history (and architecture) looking for relevant pictures (and, yes, it was books at the time—and in fact the web didn’t immediately help even when it became available). One piece of absorption that did happen in the 4–10 year window was into areas like art and architecture.).
