On the Possible Influence of Metric Perturbations on Neural Tract Timing
Abstract
This note explores, at a preliminary and computational level, whether weak gravitational metric perturbations could in principle induce measurable changes in neural tract timing. Using a previously developed geometric model of interacting axons, we examine how variation in radial distance from a pulsating gravitational source affects action potential initiation times.The results indicate small but systematic timing shifts as a function of distance. While the physical magnitudes involved are extremely small and no biological claim is made, the analysis suggests a conceptual possibility: that spacetime geometry, under certain modeled conditions, could act as a modulator of neural timing.
