I'm posting this here mostly for the image, and you don't even see the image in the Reddit version unless you click on a specific link. the image makes clear in a way no number of would could the relation between a network (that is, the graph, that is, the nodes connected by connections) and a matrix (that is, a set of numbers arranged in rows and columns, which also denote the connections). Most neural net software is based on performing mathematical operations on the matrix, but that's hard to visualize when looking at patterns in the network. The rest of the post is pretty interesting, but the whole point is really made with the diagram.
