An interactive browser experiment in which a reduced fruit-fly neural circuit samples six walking destinations and removes one from the route.

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

Field notes

The bench reduces a fruit-fly decision loop to 101 labeled cells, including L1, L2, DNa01, MDN, and DNp09, then uses card position and luminance as the visible inputs. Six demo destinations supply the current field, from a rainy stairway to a bakery route. The page explicitly separates this designed browser simulation from the referenced 165,122-neuron CNS and says it performs no map navigation, wallet action, route optimization, or chain write.
