Chess vs The Fly Brain

A Hugging Face Space that scores each legal chess move by how the fly's dopaminergic cells react to the resulting board. Squares map to fixed sensory-neuron clusters, activity runs twelve leaky integrate-and-fire steps over a FlyWire edge list shipped as a 93 MB weights.npz, and the move is picked by mean PAM rate minus mean PPL rate across 331 real dopaminergic neurons, plus material and repetition terms. The README says plainly that the squares-to-neurons map is arbitrary rather than retinotopic, and that the fly's reward circuitry is for associative learning, not chess. The Space is paused.
