Detection Turns State Into Current

Conducting State Closes Readout

channel words map to circuit state

A conducting channel state is represented as a closed readout path. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Conducting state closes the readout path

The conducting state maps to a closed circuit path. With 10 V across an equivalent 5 ohm load, the current is 2 A.

Blocked state opens the readout path

The blocked state maps to an open circuit path, so the readout current is 0 A. This is a state abstraction, not channel kinetics.
