Decorrelation

Okay kiddo, let's start with understanding correlation first. Correlation is when two things are related or connected to each other. For example, if we eat more ice cream, the temperature usually tends to be warmer outside.

Now, decorrelation means breaking or reducing the connection between two things. For instance, if we start eating less ice cream during hot summers, it means we are trying to decorrelate the two things - eating ice cream and hot weather.

This idea of decorrelation is used in many areas, especially in math and science. It helps us understand how things are related to each other and how we can change or control those connections. It's like rearranging pieces of a puzzle to make a new picture.

So, the next time you hear the word decorrelation, you'll know that it means breaking or reducing the connection between two things.
