Next exercise: implement the fast Fourier transform as a multi-layered network.

This could be highly interesting. Especially when starting with the FFT butterfly structure for connections and the corresponding weights as network initialization and then adapting that to real data via training.

This is a great idea, I bet one could find a bit-faster fftw that would be close enough for many applications, but it would apply a statistical approach to each weight.

Nice idea. Turns out, doing this works well and has some nice properties https://dawn.cs.stanford.edu/2019/06/13/butterfly/
