flybody-connectome

Closes a loop from rendered compound-eye images through the MaleCNS v1.0 graph to wingbeat frequency and steering on a MuJoCo fly, then reports that no visual information is in the loop yet. Driving the retina makes all 3,335 photoreceptors and two descending types spike, but not one of the 708 ventral nerve cord motor neurons does, so a wing command cannot be read where it anatomically belongs. A frozen-vision control reproduces the live run exactly, so the variation comes from the connectome's own left-right asymmetry. The halteres exist in the model but nothing joins them to the afferents.
