Primes¶
- Lateral Inhibition
- Social dynamics: Within a tight peer group, an emerging leader or dominant opinion suppresses immediate rivals more than remote ones, producing a single salient voice locally rather than a smooth distribution—while leaving room for separate leaders to emerge in other, less-connected parts of the network.
This sourceFormal substrate-agnostic dynamical model of populations coupled by distance-dependent excitation and lateral inhibition; shows how proximity-weighted mutual suppression localizes activity into a salient peak, grounding the cross-domain transfer of the mechanism beyond its retinal origin.
