a cyberlink that costs focus to create — making it an honest indicator of what the neuron values
the cost of learning is focus. focus regenerates proportionally to stake, and the total is conserved: emphasizing one thing defocuses others. a neuron cannot link everything — it must choose. this scarcity makes each cyberlink a costly signal
because linking costs focus, the cybergraph accumulates weighted commitments rather than cheap assertions. the tru computes cyberank from these commitments — explicit knowledge emerges from the aggregate of costly signals
the economics: focus is the cost, cyberlink is the signal, cyberank is the outcome
see focus for the conservation law. see learning for the act of creating a costly signal. see knowledge theory for the epistemic framing
