Learning occurs when outcomes differ from predictions,
Learning occurs when outcomes differ from predictions, producing a teaching signal proportional to the prediction error.
Why This Is an Axiom
This is the Rescorla-Wagner model and dopamine-based prediction error mechanism (Schultz et al. 1997). Empirical, foundational claim about how brains ACTUALLY learn. Not derivable from other axioms — it is the neurological basis for why error feedback matters.
