N te on the bigger number you'd see h̶u̶ external-drive/ 5 shells • buffers: EMA target encoders, CSR/edge-tructure tensors, divnorm running-σ, fast-plastic • local_learning traces (13.6 M), surprise memory (4.8 M), etc. Those don't get gradients, so they're not in the "trainable" count. • - The macrocolumn block's own per-shard optim[izers] are built at runtime and aren't in thiso checkpoint's exp_avg, which is why I took its trainable count from the startup banner's param_count() stead — the two method cover disjoint halves, so they sum cleanly. So: ~222 M trainable, ~184 M of it in the GPU-sharded cortex, with another ~73 M of non-trained [buffers/state cut off at bottom of visible screen]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A terminal screenshot with garbled/overlapping text rendering (two overlapping renders of what appears to be the same markdown table, likely a scroll/redraw glitch), showing a parameter-count breakdown for a "sharded macrocolumn cortex" neural architecture — matches the brain_graph_1 project's known architecture (RWKV nodes, macrocolumns, basal ganglia/hippocampus/grid components). Text is partially garbled by rendering overlap, not genuine content loss.
