Reflex loop

Sub-12 ms balance loop closed on a dedicated real-time co-processor.

Cutaway of the lower leg with the dermal flap peeled back, exposing a cyan synthetic neural ganglion of dendritic fibres wrapped around a woven carbon spinal trunk, layered over the red muscle interface, ending in a brushed-metal ankle actuator dome. Leader lines on the left mark five components.

A dedicated real-time co-processor closes the balance loop in under 12 ms. On a stumble, the limb deploys a hip-strategy recovery before higher-level cognition is even involved — the companion catches itself, then continues whatever it was doing.
