"complex, nonequilibrium steady state maintained through spatial thermal self-organization/ metallic current filament dynamically thickening/ thinning inside bulk organic crystal regulating electric transport, reducing energy dissipation in memristive neuromorphic computing... applying continuous electrical current locks temperature near metal-insulator transition, causing Joule heating to balance heat dissipation producing inverse relationship between current/ voltage"
