Selectivity & Bounded Windows¶
Primes about processes that respond only within a bounded region or range: thresholds, receptive fields and selectivity windows, sparse and population codes, plus the selection errors of bycatch, spillover, shortcut learning, and supernormal stimuli when a filter's target and its catch diverge.
18 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.
