| 3 | +**A high-fidelity, standalone mathematical physics and network simulation engine for Organoid Intelligence (OI) biocomputing — compiled for Node.js, the Web, and universal environments.** |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +--- |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## 🔬 Scientific Context |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +In Organoid Intelligence (OI) research, living human cortical brain cells grown on silicon micro-electrode arrays (MEAs) are modeled as biological processor nodes. This engine provides a rigorous, dependency-free mathematical substrate to simulate the **membrane physics**, **metabolic depletion**, **Hebbian spike plasticity (STDP)**, and **population analytics** observed in state-of-the-art wetware computing labs. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Every parameter and algorithm in this engine is calibrated against peer-reviewed neuroscience literature, making it a publication-grade tool for researchers and developers. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +--- |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## 🧮 Mathematical Architecture & Equations |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### 1. Hodgkin-Huxley Membrane Conductance with $Q_{10}$ Thermodynamics |
| 18 | +The membrane potential of each channel is modeled using the four differential equations defined by Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley (1952). The kinetics are dynamically scaled using the biological $Q_{10}$ thermodynamic factor to capture the sensitivity of ion channels to the bioreactor's real-time temperature: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +$$\Phi_{Q10} = Q_{10}^{\frac{T - T_{\text{ref}}}{10}}$$ |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Where $T$ is the temperature in °C, $T_{\text{ref}} = 6.3^{\circ}\text{C}$, and $Q_{10} = 3.0$ (standard value for mammalian central nervous systems). |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +The voltage-dependent rate constants for the gating particles ($m, h, n$) are scaled dynamically: |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +$$\frac{dm}{dt} = \Phi_{Q10} \left[ \alpha_m(V)(1 - m) - \beta_m(V)m \right]$$ |
| 27 | +$$\frac{dh}{dt} = \Phi_{Q10} \left[ \alpha_h(V)(1 - h) - \beta_h(V)h \right]$$ |
| 28 | +$$\frac{dn}{dt} = \Phi_{Q10} \left[ \alpha_n(V)(1 - n) - \beta_n(V)n \right]$$ |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +### 2. Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP) |
| 31 | +Biological learning is simulated using Hebbian **Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP)**. The synaptic connection strength $W_{ij}$ between pre-synaptic electrode $i$ and post-synaptic electrode $j$ is updated upon each action potential: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +$$\Delta W_{ij} = A_{\text{pot}} \cdot e^{-\frac{\Delta t}{\tau_{\text{stdp}}}} \quad (\text{for } \Delta t > 0)$$ |
| 34 | +$$\Delta W_{ij} = -A_{\text{dep}} \cdot e^{\frac{\Delta t}{\tau_{\text{stdp}}}} \quad (\text{for } \Delta t < 0)$$ |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Where $\Delta t = t_{\text{post}} - t_{\text{pre}}$. |
| 37 | +* **Dopamine** levels dynamically scale the potentiation amplitude $A_{\text{pot}}$, magnifying neuro-plasticity coefficients. |
| 38 | +* **GABA** levels introduce proportional synaptic inhibition, dampening overall firing and stabilizing network voltages. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### 3. Electrophysiology 3-Phase MaxInterval Burst Detection |
| 41 | +Burst detection is executed using a clinical-grade **3-Phase MaxInterval** clustering algorithm: |
| 42 | +1. **Candidate Selection:** Grouping spikes whose Inter-Spike Intervals (ISIs) are less than `maxBeginIsi` to start a burst, and less than `maxEndIsi` to maintain it. |
| 43 | +2. **Temporal Merging:** Merging adjacent bursts separated by less than the `minIbi` threshold. |
| 44 | +3. **Quality Filtering:** Filtering out noise events that do not meet the minimum duration (`minBurstDuration`) or minimum spike count (`minSpikes`) thresholds. |
| 45 | + |

| 65 | +## 🚀 Quickstart Usage |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Here is how to set up an 8x8 MEA Grid simulation, stimulate an input channel, run integration steps, and capture burst analytics in TypeScript: |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +```typescript |
| 70 | +import { SynapticNetwork } from '@ppradyoth/synaptic-wetware-engine'; |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +// 1. Initialize a new 64-node MEA biocomputer network |
| 73 | +const network = new SynapticNetwork(); |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +// 2. Adjust the bioreactor incubator parameters |
| 76 | +network.incubator.temperature = 37.0; // °C |
| 77 | +network.incubator.glucose = 5.5; // mM |
| 78 | +network.incubator.oxygen = 95.0; // % dissolved |
| 79 | +network.incubator.dopamine = 2.0; // µM (depolarizes and boosts plasticity!) |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +console.log(`Starting vitals: viability = ${network.vitals.viability}%, synapses = ${network.vitals.synapticDensity} / µm³`); |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +// 3. Inject a depolarization pulse to stimulate Input Channel 16 |
| 84 | +network.stimulate(16, 30.0); // Stimulate electrode 16 with a 30mV pulse |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +// 4. Run numerical integration ticks (1 tick = 100ms) |
| 87 | +for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) { |
| 88 | + // Solve standard Izhikevich equations across all 64 nodes, coupling metabolics and STDP |
| 89 | + network.tick(100, 'izhikevich'); |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | + const stateNode16 = network.electrodes[16]; |
| 92 | + console.log(`[Time: ${network.elapsedSimTime}ms] Electrode 16 Voltage: ${stateNode16.voltage}mV`); |
| 93 | +} |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +// 5. Query scientific analytics and population burst metrics |
| 96 | +const burstMetrics = network.getBurstMetrics(); |
| 97 | +const ethicsMetrics = network.getEthicsMetrics(); |
| 98 | +const rasterSpikes = network.getRasterEvents(1000); // last 1 second |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +console.log('\n--- Simulation Analytics ---'); |
| 101 | +console.log(`Total Bursts Identified : ${burstMetrics.totalBursts}`); |
| 102 | +console.log(`Mean Inter-Burst Interval: ${burstMetrics.meanIBI} seconds`); |
