there's a lot in-it, but it's short-hand for "the sum of the
Topologigally-Distributed relative ratios of Excitation to Inhibition"...
the "TD" includes all of Neuroanatomy's twists and turns, which all exist
for the sole purpose of aligning all of the neural architecture so that
'decisions' can be made, within it, through the simple minimization of =one=
'thing'...

TD E/I.

neural activation 'states' are 'finitized' [rendered maximally-finite] when
excitation is minimized and inhibition is maximized. our nervous systems do
everything that they do by 'seeking' this one 'goal'.

[there's more to it. for instance, there's neural architecture that's
inherently TD E/I(up)-generating... but all such seemingly-discordant
instances are just more of the tightly-integrated global neural architecture
that 'seeks' to do only one thing: minimize TD E/I.]
