claim:precision-is-the-unified-mechanism-for-attention-and-meta-awareness-across-hierarchical-levels

Precision is the unified mechanism for attention and meta-awareness across hierarchical levels.

Core theoretical claim: attention = precision over sensory evidence; meta-awareness = precision over attentional states; meditation = precision modulation.
