What’s going on here?

A GPU LIF simulation couples a FlyWire v783 whole-brain graph to a NeuroMechFly/MuJoCo body with modeled sensory and motor layers, plasticity, and integration metrics.

THE IMPORTANT BIT

Where the wiring ends,
and the model begins.

The repository's companion preprint and README report its own results; embodiment, sensory encoders, and integration metrics remain model layers.
