and the in between is something like you'd have a couple of patterns here a couple here and a couple maybe here it's almost like a clustering like and these overlap and these overlap and these overlap but they don't overlap with each other which means that if you start somewhere here you would converge to the mean but not to the mean of all the patterns but just to the mean of these patterns and here here and here here so this this is like a clustering in latent space right so you can interpret these hopfield
