Abstract
Abstract The brain capitalizes on the complexity of both its biochemistry for neurons to encode diverse pieces of information with various neurotransmitters and its morphology at multiple scales to route different pathways for neural interconnectivity. Conducting polymer dendrites can show similar features by differentiating between cations and anions thanks to their charge accumulation profile and the asymmetry in their dendriticity that allows projecting spike signals differently. Here, we exploit such mimicry for in materio classification of bursting activity and investigate, in phosphate buffered saline, the capability of such object to sense bursts of voltage pulses of 100 mV amplitude, emitted by a local gate in the vicinity of the dendrite. The dendrite integrates the different activities with a fading memory time window that is characteristic of both the polarity of the spikes and the temporality of the burst. By this first demonstration, the ‘material-object’ definitely shows great potential to be a node halfway between the two realms of brain and electronic communication.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
