arXiv:2607.07035v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The architecture of deep feedforward neural networks is ubiquitous in deep learning, either as a whole system or as a subnetwork of other architectures, and thus its mechanism is a key ingredient of the black box of neural networks. On the basis of the simplest two-layer ReLU network, this paper systematically studies the mechanism of deep feedforward ReLU networks with multiple hidden layers and successfully explains the training solution obtained by the back-propagation algorithm. The concept of a path, especially in terms of the relationships
