 Rather, we need to make sure that we can properly shape the input space,
 e.g., by normalization and by focusing on invariants. In short, if you always train
 your networks for inputs in the range $[0\dots1]$, don't expect it to work
 with inputs of $[10\dots11]$. You might be able to subtract an offset of $10$ beforehand,
 and re-apply it after evaluating the network.
 As a rule of thumb: always make sure you

 The previous airfoil example use Cartesian grids with standard

 of performance and stability. Nonetheless, the whole discussion here of course
