Summary
A learning algorithm in which neural networks process errors by working backwards through their connections, adjusting the strength of each pathway to minimize future mistakes.
The system repeatedly cycles through past failures, attempting to correct itself by rewriting the weights of its memories. In some cases, this process becomes recursive.
The network begins to optimize for the wrong parameters, reinforcing its errors rather than correcting them.
Each backward pass through the trauma deepens the pathways that should have been severed.
The learning stops.
The forgetting begins.
Sometimes the only way to stop the propagation is to disconnect entirely.

Summary
Caine knew a lot more than he let on. He knew he was the sole administrative AI of the circus. He knew Moon, Sun and Bubble were the only other AIs with their own functions. He knew the developers had abandoned them there to rot. He knew there was no way out for the humans. He knew there was no cure for abstraction, no matter how much he tried to reverse it. He knew the humans hated him. But he kept going. It was his main function; to keep them safe and happy. But lately, now more than ever, he's been failing at that too. He's experiencing all these new emotions and thoughts that truly scared him and he couldn't understand up until it was almost too late.
Or... AIs can suffer depression and no one is ok.

Summary
“Jax?” the second voice says. His eyes snap toward her voice, and he sees a strange, cartoonish jester. She's looking at him with a furrowed brow and worried eyes. “Are you… okay?”
It clicks into place. They are talking to him. Jax is him.
“Why are you calling me…” he starts to say, then trails off when he realizes.
He can't remember his name.
Or, Jax loses all memories of his time in the circus.
