How interesting. This looks like a lateral inhibition effect running on biochemical means that are persistent compared to the transient electrochemical phenomena of classic neuronal lateral inhibition. The latter does lots of signal processing in visual and other systems. [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_inhibition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_inhibition
