Elm Alley
North shade, brick lip
BM–01 · Drosophila brain–machine outing bench
A fruit fly chooses the next alley.
Lay out local walk crumbs. A visible fly's hexagonal eye samples card position, its reduced neural circuit spikes, and one descending command removes a stop.
PHYSICAL OPERATORDrosophila melanogaster
compound eye input head electrode descending command
Local interactive path
Arrange crumbs. Let the fly remove one.
Names are labels for humans. The fly circuit samples relative card position and luminance only.
RETINAL FIELD6 INPUTS
Copper Steps
Twelve risers, wet in rain
Lantern Court
Open square, evening lamps
Sliprail Lane
Narrow, one-way for feet
Ovenwalk
Bakery steam in the morning
Marsh Gate
Low path, reeds either side
Model boundary
The fly is literal. The connectome is not.
Real reference
The 2026 male fly CNS reference reports 165,122 traced neurons and about 10.2 million connections.
Reduced browser model
This local instrument runs 101 labeled cells: 48 L1, 48 L2, DNa02-L/R, DNa01, MDN and DNp09. It is a designed simulation, not proofread EM.
Honest output
Card names are not read. No live map, wallet, route optimization, yield or chain write is present. The final anchor step is explicitly SOON.
