_System size (van Kampen Ω) for the stochastic ‘gillespie’ backend: the number of discrete units per unit of the activity variable, and the sole source of noise. Runs a mean-field rate model as a finite birth-death process (Gillespie SSA): the activity state variable X becomes a discrete count n ≈ Ω·X, its relaxation equation tau*X’ = -X + F(…) is read as birth propensity Ω·F/tau (the gain) and death propensity n/tau (the leak), while the remaining state variables integrate deterministically between events. Larger Ω means finer discreteness and weaker fluctuations, recovering the deterministic mean field as Ω→∞. For an activity already expressed as a fraction in [0,1], Ω is the population size N; for a firing rate it is N divided by the rate at full activation. Required by the ‘gillespie’ backend; ignored by every other backend._
