Non-Linearity

Domain: AI Fundamentals

🎯 Motivation

The ability to model curved, complex relationships, not just straight lines. Comes from activation functions.

📋 Concrete Example

Without non-linearity, a 100-layer network collapses to the equivalent of one linear layer.

🔗 Analogy

Like being able to draw curves and squiggles, not just rulers-straight lines, on a graph.
