PROSOCHĒ
the domain of the attention MECHANISM and its GEOMETRY, the operation the whole transformer is built on.

HONEST: the geometry instruments run EXACT math LIVE but mostly on MODELED attention — only the-flooding and attention-observatory read a real (frozen) BERT capture, and the block/perplexity numbers are real yet RENDERED offline, not recomputed in-browser; each sphere is two-layer honest about
