+- `Reservoir` - the liquid state machine / echo state network reservoir; coined by Maass, Natschlaeger, Markram 2002.
+- `Attractor` - from dynamical systems theory; a stable state in phase space.
+- `Neuromodulation` - Greek *neuro* ("nerve") + Latin *modulare* ("to measure"); the gain modulation by neuromodulators.

+
+**Track:** `video_analysis_deob_pass3_20260623`
+**Date:** 2026-06-23
+**Language:** C11
+
+## Decisions made
+1. **Language:** C11.
+2. **Conventions:** duffle + forth bootslop.
+3. **Reservoir:** as a struct with random weights + state.
+4. **Attractor:** simplified to a boolean check on state difference.
+
+## 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." Reservoir computing scales with the number of neurons; for 1000 neurons, simulation is feasible on modern CPU.

+/* ============================================================================
+ *  neural_dynamics_miller.c - Pass 3 projection of "Cognition Emerges from Neural Dynamics" (Miller)
+ * ============================================================================
+ *
+ *  PURPOSE
+ *  -------
+ *  Demonstrates the constructive form of the lecture's framework:
+ *  cognition emerges from low-dimensional neural dynamics + mixed selectivity.
+ *
+ *  The program illustrates:
+ *    - Mixed selectivity: high-dimensional nonlinear neural responses
+ *    - Low-dimensional dynamics: the manifold of neural activity
+ *    - Anesthesia: the breakdown of low-dimensional dynamics
+ *    - Cognitive state: a region in the low-dim state space

+# neural_dynamics_miller - Pass 3 Notes
+
+**Track:** `video_analysis_deob_pass3_20260623`
+**Date:** 2026-06-23
+**Language:** C11
+
+## Decisions made
+1. **Language:** C11.
+2. **Conventions:** duffle + forth bootslop.
+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.
