Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

The interface identifies its source as FlyWire v783 and describes a measured Drosophila graph containing 138,639 neurons, directed connections, and measured synapses. Its visible controls include orbiting the model, following the fly, inspecting brain state and life trail, and sending a one-second pulse into a system initially resting at zero activity. The page labels the simulation an LIF model; archival and cross-lifetime restoration remain stated ambitions rather than demonstrated capabilities in the supplied extract.
