I am a Mechanical Engineer (Imperial College) who has spent 30 years investigating the physical substrate of consciousness.
We currently model the brain through "connectionism" (synaptic weights), but this fails to explain the structural stability of the "Self" or the 350ms delay in conscious awareness (Libet Latency).
My research identifies Ankyrin-G (AnkG) at the Axon Initial Segment (AIS) not just as a scaffolding protein, but as a deterministic hardware logic gate. It acts as a many-to-one filter, "vetoing" billions of chaotic inputs into a single authenticated output.
This 3-minute video outlines the mechanical architecture of this "Hardware Veto." I am looking for feedback from systems engineers and computational neuroscientists on this subtractive model.
