Hyperprior

In predictive coding, a high-level prior that shapes inference; latched vascular contractions are proposed to physically instantiate durable commitments to hyperpriors.

hypothesis

Latched Hyperprior Hypothesis (LHH): If a vascular contraction is held long enough, it engages the latch-bridge mechanism, durably freezing the nearby circuit and creating a durable commitment to a specific hyperprior isolated from global updating, unlocking only when the corresponding prediction is resolved.
