Features and circuits as building blocks

Features are interpretable units (like a car detector) and circuits are connections of features via weights that implement algorithms — e.g., a car detector built from a window detector above, wheel detectors below, and car-body detectors, telling us how features are built, used, and connected.

when we have the car detector and it’s connected to a window detector and a wheel detector, and it looks for the wheels below and the windows on top, that’s a circuit.
