Opposing Regulation & Gain Control¶
Primes about signalling systems kept in working order by counterbalancing forces, including excitation-inhibition balance, feedforward inhibition that brakes the very element an input excites, and gain control that rescales output to keep responses in range.
3 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
