I can look around me and find the minimum of anything without tracing its surface and following the gradient. I can also identify immediately global minima instead of local ones.

We all can do it in 2-3D. But our algorithms don’t do it. Even in 2D.

Sure if I was blindfolded, feeling the surface and looking for minimization direction would be the way to go. But when I see, I don’t have to.

What are we missing?
