Also draws from Neuroscience (12)

Primes whose canonical origin is elsewhere, but who list Neuroscience among their alternate origin domains.

  • Attention — The selective allocation of a fixed processing capacity to some inputs while the rest are filtered out, surfacing scarcity upstream of every decision.
  • Cascade — A change in one element triggers a chain of further changes.
  • Cognitive Resource Depletion — Cognitive capacity degrades from sustained resource consumption.
  • Latency — The irreducible delay between an input and the system's response.
  • Multiplexing — Sharing one channel among many signals by dividing time, frequency, or code.
  • Pattern Completion (Filling the Incomplete) — Infer missing structure.
  • Potentiation — One factor enhances another.
  • Segmentation and Boundary Drawing — Partitioning continuous domain via boundaries concentrates meaning.
  • Self Control — Overriding immediate impulses in service of longer-term goals.
  • Synchronization — The emergence of stable shared timing or phase among independent oscillating processes through local coupling, without any central conductor.
  • Threshold — Safe vs harmful levels.
  • Wisdom of the Crowds — Many independent noisy signals combine into an estimate better than any individual (information aggregation).
