“The actual latents don't hold any information, but of course in practice if you enforce the fact that the change from let's say latent number one to latent number two should be really small, then you would expect something like this, where effectively like the big structure up here first, because on the big s because if we don't have the big structure it's kind of the small changes later on cannot reconstruct this.
