Vascular contraction as pattern freezing

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

• 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.hypothesis0.765
  Second core hypothesis, linking VSMC contraction to active inference predictions and memory.
• In Theravada Buddhism, vasomotion corresponds to tanha, vascular contractions correspond to pattern freezing, and latches correspond to blocking awareness.claim0.749
  Detailed mapping of vascular phenomena onto Buddhist concepts.
• Vascular system motifs are the means by which we manipulate sensations.claim0.730
  Theravada Buddhism mapping: vascular system as the physical basis of tanha-driven sensation manipulation.
• Vascular clampconcept0.721
  Contraction of VSMCs that freezes local neural patterns and plasticity for the duration of contraction, functioning as medium-term memory.
• Vertebrate face patterning via bioelectric gradientsfinding0.701
• Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (VSMCs)concept0.701
  Proposed as the brain's compression/prediction infrastructure where tanha physically manifests; central mechanism in vasocomputation theory.
• Principles of Vasocomputationframework0.698
  Mike Johnson's 2023 framework unifying Buddhist phenomenology, Active Inference, and physical reflex; introduces tanha as mental motion.
• Progress on the contemplative path is using these (vascular system motifs) less and needing them less.claim0.694
  Mapping contemplative development to reduction in vasocomputation.
