Salience is Euclidean even when geometry is not

Browse Source 
Eric's final layer on the torus lesson: humans see center tiles and
aim there, so the center-perceived seat pays an attention tax — and a
strong player arbitrages the gap between how the board looks and how
it routes. The bots, running true-graph BFS, have neither the bias
nor the ability to exploit it.

- BUT salience is Euclidean even when geometry is not (Eric): humans
see "center tiles" and aim their aggression there, so the
center-perceived seat pays an attention tax — and a strong player
turns it into arbitrage: absorb the squabble, footrace out and back
through wraps that make you secretly equidistant from everything.
Play the graph for movement, the salience for predicting humans;
expect neither bias nor exploitability from the bots — their BFS is
natively non-Euclidean.
