The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

VENs function as acquisition scaffolds whose developmental absence produces stochastic learning failure - a computational analogue of variable social skill acquisition in ASC - with falsifiable predictions for organoid and electrophysiology studies.

C2weakest assumption

The binary classification task and the specific recurrent architecture sufficiently capture the computational contribution of VENs to social skill acquisition, despite the explicit statement that the model does not directly simulate social cognition.

C3one line summary

Embedding 2% VEN-like neurons in spiking networks raises convergence from 70% to 98% on a classification task by supplying stable gradient pathways, modeling stochastic learning failure in ASC.
