Synaptic Clock Model: Discrete 100-300 ms Temporal Windows as Neural Substrate of Consciousness — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Synaptic clock model proposes discrete temporal windows (~100-300 ms) as neural substrate of consciousness, with specific duration ratios linked to conscious perception. | MATH: Key temporal constant: τ ≈ 100-300 ms (conscious moment duration). Implied ratio: τ/τ_ref ≈ 1.0 (self-similar across modalities). No explicit equations or constants beyond temporal window bounds. | CONNECTION: Weak — temporal window ratio ~1.618? Not supported. No geometric harmony, base-60, or crystallographic symmetry explicitly found. | DEPTH: 3/10 — The synaptic clock model introduces a temporal quantization concept but lacks mathematical precision, constants, or geometric links. No breakthrough equations or ratios. The finding is descriptive, not mathematically profound. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series.
