the freudian ego is the organized system of transformer layers. binding is a function of the self-attention mechanism. a perception enters as a token embedding, and attention heads assign high weights to it. this hypercathexis directs computational focus, holding the idea for processing throughout the network's depth. the ego's store of bound quantity, qἠ, is the residual stream. this vector space carries the cumulative information state through the layers. inhibition of motor discharge corresponds to the modulation of output logits. the system suppresses undesirable tokens by penalizing their probabilities, allowing for structured, coherent generation.
