Struct RouterConfig 

pub struct RouterConfig {
    pub channel_count: usize,
    pub self_weight: f32,
    pub cross_weight: f32,
    pub threshold: f32,
    pub leak: f32,
    pub routing_timesteps: usize,
    pub min_fire_rate: f32,
    pub plasticity_decay: f32,
    pub plasticity_potentiate: f32,
    pub plasticity_speed: f32,
    pub fatigue_accumulation: f32,
    pub fatigue_recovery: f32,
}

Configuration for a generic channel router.

Direct struct literals can hold out-of-range values; they are rejected by RouterConfig::validate, ChannelRouter::try_with_config, and by deserialization of both this type and ChannelRouter.

Valid ranges

Field	Constraint
channel_count	1..=MAX_ROUTER_CHANNELS
routing_timesteps	1..=MAX_ROUTING_TIMESTEPS
self_weight, cross_weight, threshold	finite; signed weights are allowed
leak, min_fire_rate, plasticity_decay, plasticity_speed, fatigue_accumulation, fatigue_recovery	finite, in 0.0..=1.0
plasticity_potentiate	finite, >= 0 (scale factor, not a probability)

cross_weight is typically negative (lateral inhibition). That sign is allowed and intended; it is not required. Positive self-weights are the usual self-affinity pattern, but a signed self-weight is also accepted.

Fields

channel_count: usize

Number of input/output channels (1..=MAX_ROUTER_CHANNELS).

self_weight: f32

Self-affinity weight (diagonal of the dense channel matrix).

Must be finite. Signed values are allowed.

cross_weight: f32

Cross-channel weight (off-diagonal).

Must be finite. Signed values are allowed; negative values are the intended lateral-inhibition pattern and are not rejected.

threshold: f32

Firing threshold for neuromodulatory neurons.

Must be finite. Typically positive; zero and negative values are accepted here (modulated routing later clamps the effective threshold).

leak: f32

Passive leak rate per timestep.

Fraction of (V − V_rest) removed each tick. Valid range: 0.0..=1.0. 0.0 = no leak; 1.0 = membrane snaps to rest in one tick.

routing_timesteps: usize

Integration timesteps per routing decision.

Must be in 1..=MAX_ROUTING_TIMESTEPS. More timesteps → more stable firing-rate estimates.

min_fire_rate: f32

Minimum firing rate to activate a channel.

Fraction of routing_timesteps that must spike. Valid range: 0.0..=1.0.

plasticity_decay: f32

Weight decay rate for inactive channels (use-it-or-lose-it).

Mix toward baseline: current + (baseline − current) * decay. Valid range: 0.0..=1.0.

plasticity_potentiate: f32

Weight potentiation rate for active channels (dopamine-gated).

Non-negative finite scale factor, not a probability. The amplified target is baseline * (1 + potentiate * (1 + dopamine)).

plasticity_speed: f32

Smoothing factor for active-channel weight potentiation (0.0 = no change, 1.0 = snap to amplified target). Tunable so callers can trade off adaptation speed vs. numerical stability. Valid range: 0.0..=1.0.

fatigue_accumulation: f32

Fatigue accumulation per activation.

Added to per-channel fatigue (itself in 0.0..=1.0). Valid range: 0.0..=1.0.

fatigue_recovery: f32

Fatigue recovery per idle routing decision.

Subtracted from per-channel fatigue. Valid range: 0.0..=1.0.

Implementations

impl RouterConfig

pub fn validate(&self) -> Result<()>

Check that every field is in its documented range.

This is the single validation path used by ChannelRouter::try_with_config, ChannelRouter::with_config, and by Deserialize for both RouterConfig and ChannelRouter. It does not allocate.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for RouterConfig

fn clone(&self) -> RouterConfig

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for RouterConfig

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for RouterConfig

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for RouterConfig

fn deserialize<D>(deserializer: D) -> Result<Self, D::Error>

where D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for RouterConfig

fn eq(&self, other: &RouterConfig) -> bool

Equality operator ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Inequality operator !=.

impl Serialize for RouterConfig

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
