- Vicious cycle where latch reduces blood flow, reducing energy, making it harder to release the latch.
- Smooth muscle mechanism where myosin heads latch to actin, holding tension without ongoing energy; forms/dissolves over seconds to minutes; can persist minutes to years.

- Persistent vascular contractions via latch-bridge, proposed to freeze local circuits, sum of which accounts for majority of bodily suffering.
- If a model is taught about tanha/latch systems, it may improve its performance in managing mental stacks.hypothesis0.686Hypothesis prompted by Atlas Forge's claim; suggests a new training intervention.
