malecns-asteroids

Runs all 166,700 MaleCNS neurons in real time to play Atari Asteroids, and spends most of its effort proving the named circuit is the cause. Looming cells feed descending neurons for an escape mode and a separate tracking pathway for a pursuit mode. Silencing two descending cells drops action agreement to 56.9% and flips the turn sign, while silencing 2,000 random cells changes nothing. Permuting only the looming projections, with degree, sign and weights preserved, moves the escape bearing error from 60.7 to 99.2 degrees; a size-matched shuffle elsewhere does not.
