Neuron of Intelligence

Click any element—or press Next—to step through the neuron.

PHYSICS / FAITH

Universal consensus layer. Thermodynamics as bedrock; tree hydraulics as canonical flow. Faith that laws hold gives the system a stable prior.

BIOLOGY / HOPE

Emergent complexity. Ritual and fractals: alveoli, nephrons, villi… coordination drives that scale from tissue to polity.

SOCIOLOGY / LOVE

Tribal competition. Meaning-making under recursion: we model others modeling us—identity fuels selective attention.

SOMA — Integration Hub

splice(F, H, L) → weighted thresholds & timing produce a unified policy signal.

AXON — Decision Highway

All-or-nothing commit. Once fired, the compressed output travels fast and far.

EFFECTORS — Multi-Scale Action

Implementation cascades: cell → tissue → organ → system → grid. Each level feeds back differently.

GATES — Adaptive Control

Context-sensitive thresholds regulate which inputs matter now (attention, salience, hazard).

FEEDBACK — Learning Loops

Fast/slow/perennial adjustments close the loop; outputs reshape tomorrow’s priors.

“Five GOP Tribes” — Neuron Lens (blurb)

Use the soma to compress three axes: Moral order, Security posture, Distribution. Coalition management yields productive incoherence across effectors (e.g., tariffs vs business wing; Medicaid trims vs economic populists; Ukraine/Israel posture splitting neocons vs isolationists). The winner maintains just-coherent-enough signals while not tripping the gates.
