Tensor Network Neuroscience: A Rigorous Mathematical Framework
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) May 7, 2026 Rolando Pablo Hong Enriquez
We propose that neural activity can be rigorously modeled as tensor network states, with cortical hierarchies mapping onto a Multi-scale Entanglement Renormalization Ansatz (MERA) architecture. Within this framework, we identify the effective bond dimension as a measurable neural correlate of consciousness, providing a computationally tractable alternative to integrated information theory. We...
