Intuition Bridge
Animation easing / step size

Learning rate

The connection
Both control how aggressively a system moves toward its target per step. A large step overshoots; a small step converges slowly. Both require tuning. Caveat: The mechanisms are unrelated — learning rate scales gradient magnitudes, animation easing interpolates time curves.
Why "Intuition"?
Intuition bridges share a useful mental model, but the underlying mechanisms differ. Use with care.
