Read the equation
The drive combines three terms: input is attenuated by 1−x, the velocity-like state contributes with weight 1.2, and coupling state c contributes with weight 0.6. If x is near one, the direct input term is suppressed. The scalar equation’s actual connection to other units depends on how c is supplied and updated.

How it works
Read the definition from its right-hand expression to the quantity on the left. Its surrounding source records the intended input, state, or parameter context. Where the source leaves an operation unspecified, this page preserves that gap.
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.

## 8.4 Drive Computation ``` drive = 3.0 · F_in · (1 - x) + 1.2 · y + 0.6 · c ``` **Where**: - `x` = current activation - `y` = velocity - `c` = coupling parameter **Explanation**: The drive combines: - Input-dependent excitation (stronger when x is low) - Velocity momentum - Inter-agent coupling ## 8.5 Gating Function ``` g = 1/(1 + exp(-((0.8·P - k_c)/0.3 + 1.2))) + 0.05 ``` **Where**: - `P` = potential (consciousness proxy)
