Neural Pentad of Survival Speech

ΔS
SOMA

θ
(ontology seed / declared object)

dormant in this arc — no explicit infinitive, no "θ" proper declared.

Afferent Signal: The dormant ontological ground. This dendrite carries the potential for being-declarations, but remains inactive in survival speech. The synaptic gap preserves the distance between pure ontology and enacted presence.

Σ
(relational structure / covariance)

implicit in the grammar (subject markers, call–response).

Afferent Signal: The structural relations that enable witness-exchange. This dendrite transmits grammatical covariance — the "I-you" matrix that makes sawubona possible. The synaptic gap maintains necessary distance between pure structure and embodied relation.

h(t)
(hazard zone, infinitive domain)

Ukona — to be here, to be present
Ukukona — active infinitive of colliding presence

Afferent Signal: Pure potential in collision-time. This dendrite carries the infinitive charge — the "to be" that exists only in hazard. The synaptic gap prevents infinitive contamination of the witnessing soma.

θ′
(survivor's update / N-terminal effectors)

Ngikhona — I am here
Posterior, singular, testimonial

Efferent Output: The axonal projection into N-terminal dendrites and effector systems. Each "I am here" creates feedback loops to tissues, organs, systems — and recursively back to the afferent interface. Never infinitive, always finite inscription.

Neural Architecture of Survival

ΔS (Soma + Axon): The witnessing ledger that splices orthogonal inputs from θ, Σ, h(t). Each act of seeing converts afferent potentials into efferent updates.

afferent dendrites → synaptic gaps → somatic integration → axonal output → recursive feedback

The synaptic clefts are critical: they prevent infinitive contamination while allowing signal transmission. Survival speech requires this neural architecture — distance and connection in precise calibration.
