**A component cannot be contextualized by a context it emits — so initiators self-trigger.** A
|
||||||
|
*context* is a signal one component emits for others to read (a spike delivered or not, a train
|
||||||
|
present or not). Locality has a consequence for contexts that is easy to miss: a component cannot
|
||||||
|
consume its own emission as its context. It would be reading its own interior, which locality forbids;
|
||||||
|
and it is circular — a component that fires does not need to be told it fired, it *is* the firing. So
|
||||||
|
what a component emits (the soma emits AP and REFRACTORY) is its *output*, never its own context. This
|
||||||
|
splits components in two:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- A **responder** (the spine, the perisynaptic process, the relays) has a deed that is a *response to
|
||||||
|
an arrival*, so an external context licenses even its ACTION: glutamate present, a spike arriving.
|
||||||
|
It consumes a context to act.
|
||||||
|
- An **initiator** (the soma) fires from *its own* integration crossing *its own* threshold. Nothing
|
||||||
|
external licenses its action; it runs continuously and the alternation between acting and recovering
|
||||||
|
is decided by its internal condition. It emits its phases (AP, REFRACTORY) as contexts *for others*,
|
||||||
|
and cannot itself be contextualized by them, since it is their source.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So the emission structure is the inverse of the consumption structure: initiators generate the
|
||||||
|
contexts that responders consume. And one category is exempt from this split — PREPARATION always
|
||||||
|
faces outward and upward, toward the next act and the other scope, so even an initiator is
|
||||||
|
externally contextualized *for its preparation* (the neuron, tracking the sustained absence of soma
|
||||||
|
spikes that the soma cannot know from inside, emits the quiet context that licenses it). A component
|
||||||
|
self-triggers its own deed; it is told, from above, only when it has been idle long enough to prepare.
