vaso computation
Where the term appears
Vaso computation shows up in Jonny Miller's AI-coaching workflow as an example of using AI to explore untested theories. The theory is the work of his collaborator Mike Johnson, who proposed it as a possible biological mechanism for how trauma is stored in the body: smooth muscle latches that tense up and buffer emotional experience, releasing during breathwork or catharsis.
How it gets used
Jonny set up a ChatGPT project — nicknamed Operation Latch Hunting — to research the idea:
- The project surveyed blood-flow mapping technologies and drafted lists of companies to contact about ultrasound experiments that could map where trauma is stored (for example, before-and-after a retreat).- Jonny is explicit that this is a theory, not yet tested — the AI is a research partner at the edge, not a source of settled fact.- The model itself pushed back on an overreach: asked whether latches could last months or years, it said no — minutes to hours at most.
