a neuron reads what the tru computed — cyberank, karma — and decides what to link next. the moment between inference and learning, where feedback closes the loop
observation is the sensory act of the cyber protocol. the tru publishes the current state — rankings, token balances, graph topology — and every neuron can query it. what a neuron observes determines what it will link, stake, or delegate in the next round
the observation surface includes cyberank scores (which particles the collective attention favors), karma (the neuron's own accumulated reputation), and the full cybergraph structure (who linked what to what). a neuron can also observe signals from other neurons, building a local model of the network's intentions
observation creates feedback: a neuron sees the effect of its previous cyberlinks reflected in updated rankings, then adjusts its strategy. this observe-act-observe cycle is the heartbeat of cybernetics inside the protocol
for autonomous agents (souls), observation is programmatic — a smart contract reads on-chain state and triggers conditional signals. for human neurons, observation happens through the cyb interface, where search results and feed rankings present the current cyberank surface
the quality of observation determines the quality of learning. a neuron that observes broadly builds a richer model of the cybergraph and produces more effective cyberlinks
