Vascular system motifs are the means by which we manipulate sensations.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Progress on the contemplative path is using these (vascular system motifs) less and needing them less.claim0.786
  Mapping contemplative development to reduction in vasocomputation.
• Vascular Clamp Hypothesis (VCH): Vascular contractions freeze local neural patterns and plasticity for the duration of contraction, with specific constrictions encoding specific predictions, functioning as medium-term memory.hypothesis0.767
  Second core hypothesis, linking VSMC contraction to active inference predictions and memory.
• Smooth muscle cell motifs are where the brain's top-down predictive models are hiding.claim0.759
  Key claim for the FEP-AI community about the physical location of predictive models.
• Using rewards and punishments (nutrients/endorphins and shock) could be a more efficient path to anatomical control than micromanaging molecular hardware.hypothesis0.756
  Clinical implication: training tissues via reinforcement learning instead of gene therapy.
• It is the geometric engine which does the work, and which creates the feeling of the color.claim0.751
• In Theravada Buddhism, vasomotion corresponds to tanha, vascular contractions correspond to pattern freezing, and latches correspond to blocking awareness.claim0.750
  Detailed mapping of vascular phenomena onto Buddhist concepts.
• What Mechanisms Enable Biological Pattern Recognition And Meaningmakingquestion0.749
• Felt states can be achieved in multiple ways and by many different biological substrates, analogous to how computation is multiply realizable.hypothesis0.748
  Foundational hypothesis bridging multiple realizability principle to consciousness; core argument for plant sentience possibility.
