Connectome ping pong
Warpfield (@castor639)
Two copies of the MaleCNS v1.0 network, 163,903 neurons and 6,235,682 connections at the usual five-synapse cutoff, rally a ball across a scaled tennis court with nothing trained. Each fly reads the ball's bearing from four small-object medulla cell types compared against a twin network that never sees the ball, then walks. In one 40-second match the released wiring lands 54 hits, the same synapses connected at random land 10, and a fly parked at centre lands 14, so the shuffled control does worse than not moving. The swing and return placement are scripted.
