A translator in a large hall hears both a whisper right next to their ear and a conversation at the far end. The same mind picks up local nuances while keeping track of the overall discussion. That is how ResoNet works: a neural network that predicts El Niño. El Niño is a warm current in the equatorial Pacific that, every few years, alters weather across all continents.

Water remembers. Every current, every eddy, every degree of temperature in the ocean's depths does not vanish without a trace; it leaves a mark that can be read. But until recently, that mark was read only by bulky physical models that spent weeks on supercomputers and still got the details wrong.
