Fly Town: A Connectome-Based Microworld

flyswamp.xyz Observed source
Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive settlement where 12 simulated flies forage, work, trade, and respond to a neural model built from connectome data.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-12 issue.

Field notes

The habitat combines a resident-level town simulation with a connectome-derived neural layer. The page says each of the 12 models uses the same connectivity with separate activity and random streams, and distinguishes model time from compute time because the neural computation runs slower than biological real time. Its shop economy tracks stock, demand, seller shares, and a town reserve, which is currently unfunded.
