Reality Check

Sheets and books feel personal when they're physical, but become professional the moment they hit the digital ground. In practice, each form acts as a placeholder where these roles can be exchanged based on how they're used. Data can be automated in the virtual space, but automation hasn't fully leaped into the physical realm.

The former is about the absence of signal, nothing remains for a system or a person to process, so no learning occurs.

The latter is about the attenuation of a signal, as the signal moves through the network, it shrinks to the point where it can no longer teach the model effectively, causing ineffective learning.
