Mechanism

class braincell.mech.Mechanism

Marker base class for every mechanism declaration.

All declaration-layer mechanism types (Density and its concrete subclasses Channel / Ion, and Point and

its concrete subclasses CurrentClamp / SineClamp / FunctionClamp

/ Probe / Synapse / Junction) inherit from this class.

Mechanism exists only to support

isinstance(x, Mechanism) dispatch. It defines no fields, no methods, and no abstract contract — every concrete subclass owns its own data, constructors, and validation rules.
