Nice! Finally could put my physicist training to use... I skimmed the cited papers but they seemed very generalized as you mentioned. I’ll have to find the matlab code examples to understand how a complete system model would look. The linked post seems to deal with just a single perceptron/activation function AFAICT. The embedded constants don’t bother me too much as both physics models have embedded constants and I presume evolved neurobiological systems would have been tuned over time to incorporate the appropriate constants for dealing with useful quantities (force, mass, etc). Could be fun to port the matlab code to Julia!

OK, here's what I was referring to:

https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/software/spm12/

in this package there are (was?) some scripts for running dynamic expectation maximization. Cheers
