Key Points

  • This research aims to model seizure dynamics in photosensitive epilepsy, focusing on Sunflower Syndrome.
  • Applied the Recursive Attractor Stability Principle (RASP) to seizure modeling.
  • Analyzed seizure modes and their quantization through mathematical recursion.
  • Compared dual-mechanism and single-mechanism drug effectiveness.
  • Validated the model against 56 primary sources.
  • Identified peak photosensitivity at 18 Hz, within the clinical range of 15-20 Hz.
  • Showed that dual-mechanism drugs significantly outperform single-mechanism drugs.
  • Discovered a genetic variant (GABRG2 p.Trp429Ter) associated with Sunflower Syndrome.
  • Connected seizure dynamics to musical anticipation via shared pathways.

Abstract

Applies the Recursive Attractor Stability Principle (RASP) to model seizure dynamics in photosensitive epilepsy, with specific application to Sunflower Syndrome. The identical recursion f(x) = 25·tanh³(x) − x/124 that derives the proton mass predicts: seizure modes are quantized, the three-node circuit (V1 + Thalamus + Motor) is uniquely seizure-prone via Diophantine selection, peak photosensitivity at 18 Hz (clinical range 15-20 Hz), dual-mechanism drugs outperform single-mechanism (validated: fenfluramine 89% vs levetiracetam 0%), and anti-resonant frequencies exist for non-pharmacological intervention. Validated against 56 primary sources. The sole genetic variant found in Sunflower Syndrome (GABRG2 p.Trp429Ter) destroys a tryptophan — the RASP-critical amino acid. The ratio p/n = 5/3 is the major sixth in just intonation, connecting seizure compulsion to musical anticipation through shared dopaminergic pathways. Ten testable predictions with explicit kill criteria. Fourth paper in the CUFT-RASP series. Research began June 2025. v0.6.
