Transduced Valence: From Neural Effective Drive to ATP-Powered Action

A spoken syllable or a reach begins in fast neural events but becomes real only through a longer biological chain. This paper develops transduced valence as a typed causal framework for following receiver-relative neural drive through cellular energy support, delayed vascular recruitment, motor-unit activation, ATP-powered mechanical work, and returned sensory evidence without treating voltage, ATP flux, blood flow, force, and felt value as one variable. It integrates a dated Self Aware Networks genealogy from early sensory-action loops through later neural electrical-valence and Phase Wave Differential formulations. A deterministic matched-input construction demonstrates that the proposed interfaces are recoverable under declared assumptions and includes negative controls, ablation, and rescue. The paper also isolates a harder optional hypothesis about direct endogenous neural-field contributions to mitochondrial energy production. That term is independently testable and removable; existing ephaptic and applied-field studies do not establish it. The paper reports no new biological experiment and does not present synthetic model values as biological effect estimates.
