# Slot: interpolate_delays 


_For delayed coupling: read delayed states by linear interpolation between the two bracketing history time-steps instead of snapping each delay to the nearest integer step. Removes sub-step quantisation error and makes the coupling differentiable w.r.t. the continuous delay — hence w.r.t. conduction speed v (delay = tract_length / v) — so v can be gradient-optimised. Default false preserves exact nearest-step behaviour (tvboptim roll strategy)._
