Many inputs onto one target. No single input is enough; agreement across the population is. Where an all-or-nothing decision comes from.

**Computes** Sums many weak pieces of evidence and fires once the total crosses a threshold. **Engineering equivalent** Accumulator with threshold / matched filter. **Size** 6 neurons, 5 connections

Unlike a brain or a circuit, this artifact is complete: the graph below is the motif, not a pointer to it. Only the LIF parameters are missing before it can run.

Appears in: - looming-escape-giant-fibre — LC4 and LPLC2 populations converge on one giant fibre - optic-flow-stabilisation — T4/T5 pooled into wide-field tangential cells

- The threshold is the decision. Everything upstream is just evidence.
