Intuition Bridge

Gradient descent

The connection
Both incrementally reduce a measured gap. Reconciliation patches the DOM toward the desired state; gradient descent adjusts weights toward lower loss. Caveat: Reconciliation is deterministic and complete; gradient descent is stochastic and incremental.
Why "Intuition"?
Intuition bridges share a useful mental model, but the underlying mechanisms differ. Use with care.
