Developmental Silo - Ontogeny, plasticity, and critical periods.

Part of the Liquid Conglomerate v2 architecture. The Developmental Silo manages: Developmental stages and maturation Plasticity levels and decay Critical period timing Metamorphosis triggers Developmental noise

Time Constant

τ = 40 (slow adaptation for developmental dynamics)
