The engine can now fit the outputs of its fuzzy rules by ridge least squares, the first half of ANFIS training. Also this week: the project's identity and this website went live.

It adds the first half of ANFIS training: fitting each rule&rsquo;s linear output by ridge least squares.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Both rule types.</strong> The fit works on the type-1 path and on the interval type-2 path (Nie-Tan).</li> <li><strong>Checked against planted answers.</strong> Tests build a 3 × 3 × 3 rule base with known outputs, and the fit recovers them on both paths.</li> <li><strong>Your units in, your units out.</strong> Inputs are standardised for the fit and mapped back exactly to raw units.</li> </ul> <h2 id="what-it-does-not-do-yet">What it does not do yet</h2> <ul> <li><strong>No fuzzy-set training.</strong> The second half of ANFIS, which moves each set&rsquo;s centre and width, is the next piece of work.</li> <li><strong>No run on the archive.</strong> Training needs 1,170 <a href="https://github.com/SuperconducTED/superconducted-noise-engine/blob/main/docs/numerical-claims.md" class="proof">NC-045</a> distinct device states; 868 <a href="https://github.com/SuperconducTED/superconducted-noise-engine/blob/main/docs/numerical-claims.md" class="proof">NC-069</a> are archived so far.</li> </ul> <h2 id="also-this-week">Also this week</h2> <ul> <li><strong>An identity.</strong> The organisation adopted its mark and colours on 16 October 2026 (<a href="https://github.com/SuperconducTED/.github/pull/1" class="proof">PR #1</a> in the organisation repository).</li> <li><strong>This website.</strong> It went live the same day (<a href="https://github.com/SuperconducTED/superconducted.github.io/pull/1" class="proof">PR #1</a> in the site repository).
