+3. **Mixed selectivity:** as a `Matrix` (W) projecting from task variables to neural responses.
+4. **Low-dim dynamics:** as a state step function.

+## 4 + 3 verification criteria
+| # | Criterion | Status | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | **Lossless** | met | All 4 concepts from the translation table are represented. |
+| 2 | **Bounded** | met | No `infinity_val`. |
+| 3 | **Constructively typed** | met | Every expression has a type. |
+| 4 | **Etymology-cited** | met | Every new term has origin + history. |
+| 5 | **Encoding-explicit** | met | Every value-bearing term has an encoding. |
+| 6 | **Form-anchored** | met | Every re-encoding has a form anchor. |
+| 7 | **User-specific opt-in** | met | The principled form is produced. |
+
+## Hardware target
+Per user 2026-06-23, "target up to 10k." Neural simulation scales with the number of neurons and the dimensionality of the dynamics.

+## Notes
+- The C11 program is a stub; the full implementation requires linear projection + dynamics.
