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.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
