Cost-based neuron coupling

Read the equation

Forms a coupling weight from a weighted combination of the two neuron costs; some historical versions also add a coherence-driver contribution. These variants are retained separately because the extra term changes the coupling rule.

Terms & definitions

The recovered passage does not supply a separate symbol table. Read the source context for the notation used in this version; familiar letters may carry different meanings in other builds.

How it works

1. Read W_{ij} as the quantity being defined or updated by this relation.

2. Substitute the source-defined variables or recorded values and follow the displayed arithmetic and indexing exactly.

3. Use this version’s variable definitions and update order. The same symbol may be assigned a different meaning in another build.

Assumptions & limits

Source recovery establishes that the expression appears in this record. Its mathematical validity, implementation behavior, and interpretation must be assessed separately. See the linked source and research notes for the checks available for this version.

Original context

\Phi_i = \int \Delta_i(t)\, dt

4. Coupling (safe & non-adaptive)

W_{ij} = \alpha C_i + \beta C_j

5. Routing (simple deterministic selector)

\rho_i(x) = \mathbf{1}(C_i = \min_j C_j)

This picks the cheapest neuron — NOT based on coherence, intent, awareness, or self-evaluation.

W_{ij} = \alpha C_i + \beta C_j
