Neuroplasticity and the Trainable Human
Plasticity gives human development a biological basis, but not a blank check. The brain can change; the harder question is what kind of change a practice, institution, or culture is actually training.
Ground Inner Technology biologically without reducing human development to neuro-language.
Guiding question: What does contemporary science suggest about how attention, emotion, embodiment, prediction, and self-regulation are trained?

Self-knowledge is not only what a person can explain. It is also what the body can register, regulate, and make available to judgment before language arrives.
Emotion is neither irrational noise nor sovereign truth. It is embodied information to be interpreted, regulated, and integrated into judgment.
If perception is shaped by prediction, inner development includes updating the models through which reality is felt, interpreted, and acted upon.
Thinking depends on conditions. Stress changes attention, memory, social perception, and executive control, which means human judgment cannot be understood apart from the nervous-system state in which it occurs.
