To make things easier to read below, we'll omit the transpose of the Jacobians in the following.
Unfortunately, the Jacobian is defined this way, but we actually never need the un-transposed one.

However, within this book we're targeting _physical_ learning problems, and hence we have physical functions integrated into the learning process, as discussed at length for differentiable physics approaches. This is fundamentally different! Physical processes pretty much always introduce different scaling behavor for different components: some changes in the physical state are sensitive and produce massive responses, others have barely any effect. In our toy problem we can mimic this by choosing different values for $\alpha$, as shown in the middle and right graphs of the figure above.

For larger $\alpha$, the loss landscape away from the minimum steepens along $x_2$. $x_1$ will have an increasingly different scale than $x_2$. As a consequence, the gradients grow along this $x_2$. If we don't want our optimization to blow up, we'll need to choose a smaller learning rate $\eta$, reducing progress along $x_1$. The gradient of course stays perpendicular to the loss. In this example we'll move quickly along $x_2$ until we're close to the x axis, and then only very slowly creep left towards the minimum. Even worse, as we'll show below, regular updates actually apply the square of the scaling!
And in settings with many dimensions, it will be extremely difficult to find a good learning rate.
