Field notes

The project describes a browser-control loop in which screen input is sampled through a modeled retina, integrated across mapped zebrafish circuitry, and converted into pointer movement. Its stated substrate includes 128 regions and 20,011 traced morphologies, while each run lasts 34 seconds and resumes from the previous state. Actions with financial or deployment consequences are recorded as hypothetical outcomes and vetoed before execution.
