BIOLOGICAL COMPUTATION & SIMD DSP STUDIO

NO BEHAVIOR TREES.
REAL CONNECTOMES.

PonderByte wires published biological connectomes, spiking differential equations, and AVX2/NEON audio DSP into emergent worlds and instruments.

MOTHER STRAIN

SEEKERS OF THE WILD TYPE — KERSEY FALLS

An engineered entomopathogenic fungus has jumped to humans in Kersey Falls—leaving the fruit fly's sensory wiring intact inside the host. Sample ripening strains upwind across 24 nights (Solo or 1–4 Co-op) while the mycelium remembers your tactics over a 3-night rolling window.

BIOLOGICAL COMPUTATION SUBSTRATE

TWO REAL CONNECTOMES. ZERO MOCKUP.

CIRCUIT I // ARTHROPOD CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER

Derived from the complete Janelia MaleCNS v1.0 connectome (~138,000 neurons). Photoreceptors, olfactory receptor neurons, Johnston's organ wind sensors, and LC4 looming detectors propagate through Kenyon cells and the central complex compass (EPG/PFL) to drive descending motor neurons live.

CIRCUIT II // NEMATODE WHOLE-ANIMAL NETWORK

CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS

Simulated whole as a continuous graded-conductance network from the Cook et al. (2019) connectome, paired with neurotransmitter sign atlases (Wang et al. 2024, CeNGEN, Fenyves et al. 2020) and coupled directly to 95 body-wall muscle effectors.
