description	Synaptic substrate of biological active inference — long-term potentiation/depression (LTP/LTD) writes priors into synaptic weights = the learning landscape (Deep CANALs). A held vascular latch annealed long enough crystallizes into a neuron prior. Use when modeling consolidation, neuron priors, the inference→learning landscape write-path, or commit-to-disk of a held prediction.

neural-potentiation

The synaptic substrate (−1 / coplay) of the three-substrate vasocomputation stack. Long-term potentiation/depression (LTP/LTD) writes priors into synaptic weights — the learning landscape of Deep CANALs (weights = learning landscape; SOHMs + vascular tension = inference landscape). This is the consolidated commit: a neuron prior is a vasocomputational latch that has been annealed to disk.

Use When

• Modeling consolidation of a held prediction (inference landscape → learning landscape)
• "Neuron priors" — long-timescale structural memory in synaptic weights
• The write-path: vascular tension (write-buffer) → neural annealing/remodeling → potentiation (commit-to-disk)
• Distinguishing the fast, reversible held prior (vascular) from the slow, structural one (synaptic)

Core Concepts

• Commit-to-disk: Johnson's own clause — vascular tension is "rendered superfluous by neural remodeling: hold a pattern in place long enough and it becomes the default." A neuron prior is a settled latch.
