Hey, have you ever noticed how a horse’s stride is almost like a living algorithm? I think there’s a neat pattern there that could teach us a lot about machine learning.

I see what you mean—when a horse runs, the pattern is almost perfect, every hoof hit in sync, like a well‑tuned algorithm. It’s a good reminder that nature has already solved many optimisation problems. But remember, a horse’s stride is also a product of muscle memory, balance and instinct, not just maths. Use it as inspiration, not a strict blueprint.

Exactly, the stride feels like an elegant algorithm, but it’s also a dance of muscle, balance, and instinct. We can learn from its rhythm, not copy it word for word.

Exactly. The rhythm gives us a cue, not a template. Notice how the horse shifts weight, keeps the core tight, and then releases with a smooth swing. That’s the true algorithm—balance, timing, and a little instinct. We can adapt those principles, not imitate every detail.

Right, it’s the subtle shift, the core staying tight, then that release—those beats give us a model. We’ll tweak it to fit our own systems, not just copy each move.
