Readers of computational experiments and trading systems
Worth noticing
The proposed success rule requires beating every control brain, 200 coin-flip runs, momentum, and buy-and-hold.

Field notes

Extractor separates biological inputs from design choices: the connectome and neuron information come from biology, while feature mapping, motor interpretation, reward pulses, sizing, and risk rules are experimental additions. Its planned lock records code, data, connectome hashes, thresholds, and parameters before testing, while the displayed page currently reports that no official locked test has finished.
