EphapticFieldNode v2 - Learning Ephaptic Substrate

===================================================



The main node for streaming brain data into a learning synthetic substrate.



Combines:

1. EPHAPTIC FIELD DYNAMICS (Pinotsis & Miller 2023)

   - Electric field as control parameter

   - Slower timescale than neural activity

   - Field enslaves/guides neural activity



2. HEBBIAN LEARNING

   - Weights evolve based on co-activation

   - Memory etched into connectivity structure

   - Small-world long-range connections



3. SPECTRAL INPUT from SourceLocalizationNode

   - mode_spectrum: Eigenmode activations (10-dim)

   - band_spectrum: Frequency bands δ,θ,α,β,γ (5-dim)  

   - full_spectrum: Combined (15-dim)

   - complex_modes: Phase-aware modes



The node learns from the brain's eigenmode stream and develops its own

internal structure that mirrors brain connectivity. The ephaptic field

provides stability and guides the emergent activity.



INPUT MODES (configurable):

- 'mode_spectrum': Use eigenmode activations only

- 'band_spectrum': Use frequency bands only

- 'full_spectrum': Use both combined

- 'complex_modes': Use complex modes with phase



INPUTS:

- spectrum_input: Main spectral input from SourceLocalization

- source_image: Optional brain image for spatial seeding

- complex_modes: Complex eigenmode data with phase

- learning_rate: How fast to adapt

- field_strength: Ephaptic coupling strength

- reset: Clear all learned state



OUTPUTS:

- ephaptic_field: The emergent electric field

- thought_field: Autonomous learned patterns

- weight_map: Learned connectivity

- spike_map: Current neural activity

- Multiple analysis signals
