Every route counts, but some count more: a max-plus view of the C. elegans brain
Brains do not simply add up every signal they receive: they select which routes dominate. Yet connectomes are usually analyzed with tools that sum over all paths and place neural states in Euclidean spaces, blurring the feedback circuits that may sustain internal states. Here we treat neural signaling as routing instead of diffusion and describe it with max-plus algebra, in which signals accumulate along a path and the strongest route prevails. We propose a model in which the functional connecto

Sufficiency Theorem and Closed-Form Posterior for a Windowed Change Point Detection Task
To function effectively in a changing world, agents must detect changes and act on them in a timely fashion. We study this in the context of a change point detection task in which clicks arrive from a Poisson process whose rate changes at an unknown time. An agent must declare the change within a detection window of fixed width or the trial ends in a miss. Here we prove a window sufficiency theorem, which states that the posterior probability of a change depends only on the clicks within the mos
