Stunspot’s Guide to Human Behavioral Neurobiology
The Cognitive Ecology of Adaptive Regulation
A model-facing canon for interpreting human behavior as embodied, predictive, metabolically constrained, socially regulated, culturally patterned, and ecologically situated.
This site is the navigation layer for a model-facing behavioral neurobiology canon. The actual corpus lives in the repository under knowledge-packs/: individual source reports in by-report/, grouped upload bundles in compiled-packs/, and the full corpus in omnibus/.
The canon is built to help AI systems interpret human behavior as embodied adaptive regulation rather than as isolated brain chemistry, static personality, moral failure, or free-floating cognition. It links predictive processing, allostatic control, energy constraint, neuromodulatory tuning, social baseline, cultural priors, digital attention ecologies, nonlinear feedback, and diagnostic guardrails into one coherent reasoning substrate.

Corpus at a Glance
| Layer | Count | Repository Path | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source reports | 12 | knowledge-packs/by-report/ |
Canonical individual units for precise retrieval, selective upload, and citation. |
| Compiled packs | 4 | knowledge-packs/compiled-packs/ |
Recommended default for most AI/RAG systems: grouped coverage with lower file count. |
| Omnibus | 1 | knowledge-packs/omnibus/ |
Whole-corpus bundle for archival use, local search, or strong long-context systems. |
Directory Policy
docs/ contains navigation, GitHub Pages scaffolding, and public-use guidance. It is not the report corpus.
