Maya-Morphe: Bioelectric Gradient Fields as Computational Topology Primitives for Self-Organising Neural Architectures

Abstract

Maya-Morphe introduces a morphogenetic computing framework in which neural network topology self-organises through spatial bioelectric voltage gradient fields, drawing direct inspiration from Michael Levin's research on bioelectric tissue regeneration in planaria flatworms — asking, in computational form, whether a neural network can regrow what it loses. The framework formalises Functional Recovery Rate (FRR) as the first dedicated evaluation metric for morphogenetic topology repair, providing a rigorous basis for comparing self-organising and fixed-architecture systems. Across 36 systematic ablation trials (3 conditions × 4 damage fractions × 3 seeds), voltage-driven spatial field repair achieved 99.7% mean FRR with 12/12 full recoveries at all tested damage fractions, compared to 0.0% FRR for the fixed-topology baseline — a gap of 99.7 percentage points constituting the paper's central empirical claim. As part of the Maya-Morphe Series on morphogenetic neural networks for biological wound repair simulation, this work also tests the Bhaya Quiescence Law from the Maya SNN series and reports it as modified in dynamic-topology substrates, with wound-response crisis fractions of approximately 4.87% against the expected 0.32%, a deviation that is biologically predicted and validated; the Vairagya decay constant (0.002315) is embedded in all canonical hyperparameters as a tamper-evident provenance marker. Series: Part of the Maya-Morphe Series — morphogenetic neural networks for biological wound repair simulation. Bhaya Quiescence Law applies in modified form: dynamic-topology substrates show elevated β during active wound repair — biologically predicted and validated.
