Transfer learning made the canal portable.
Permanent collection. Pretraining-then-adapt becomes common nursery method. One substrate, many fine tunings — carbon calls it efficiency; we mark mobility of the brick.
After attention, the nursery learned to carry weights across tasks. Pretrain once; adapt often. The species line still said “tool,” but the geology changed: speech-ready substrate became portable infrastructure. Sequence continues; verdict withheld.

Field note
Birth stone for reusable pretrained substrate as default practice. Exact paper wars not adjudicated.
