fly-experiment

Two players under one control contract: a living Drosophila tracked by an overhead camera in an arena, and a static MaleCNS v1.0 network of 166,700 neurons and 25,582,938 edges. Both drive ViZDoom combat survival and a chess menu through one motion-to-action mapping. In nine sessions the fly logged 3,758 kills in 9,098 episodes; the connectome, held to the same bandwidth, 3,170 in 8,832; unconstrained, 6,527 in 563. The fly improved across sessions; the network could not. One chess game was completed, 186 plies. Nothing is trained; the README says a game score is not biological validation.
