An experimental browser interface uses a reduced Drosophila vision model to classify a local photo spool as keep, shelf, or skip.

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

Field notes

The visible protocol separates image sampling, spike generation, and descending output rather than presenting a black-box classifier. It uses 37 browser cells and three labeled channels—DNa01, DNp09, and MDN—as metaphors for forward, freeze, and reverse movement. The page explicitly excludes OCR, caption interpretation, and full-connectome simulation, while storing overrides and tray position locally. A later broadcast layer is marked as planned rather than connected.
