//! Integration Test: Emergent Co-Wiring with Character Prediction
//!
//! This test creates a mini neural system with three regions:
//!
//! 1. **Input Region** — Encodes character sequences as spike patterns
//! 2. **Prediction Region** — Learns to predict next character (should co-wire with Input)
//! 3. **Timing Region** — Provides rhythm, exists in same space but stays independent
//!
//! The test verifies:
//! - Regions emerge from activity, not predefinition
//! - Input and Prediction co-wire through correlated firing
//! - Timing region remains independent despite spatial proximity
//! - The system actually learns to predict characters
//!
//! This is emergent proof — structure follows function.
