O'Clock config: ΔS (Soma) at center → θ′ (Axon) at 3; afferents at 6(θ), 9(Σ), 12(h(t)); dotted arc 3→6 as feedback/recursion (dendrites don't touch soma—synaptic cleft).

Variance terms (σAA, σBB...) represent ordered signal-transduction within agents. This is negentropy—the improbable maintenance of structure against thermodynamic decay. Schrödinger's insight about life feeding on order.
Covariance terms (σAB, σAC...) capture synchronies that emerge at interfaces between agents. These are the collision points where individual negentropic structures interact and create new patterns.
From entropic baseline through negentropic structure formation, collision stresses, observational recording, to deductive updates. Each cycle writes new parameters that feed back into the next iteration of the eternal return. Neuron analogy: Afferents (6,9,12) → Soma (center) → Axon (3), with recursion 3→6 across synaptic cleft.
