What’s going on here?

A browser and Python laboratory runs a full FlyWire v783 LIF graph, drives selected sensory populations, and exposes reported circuit and lesion experiments with a kinematic body.

THE IMPORTANT BIT

Where the wiring ends,
and the model begins.

Its README explicitly separates measured wiring from modeled transduction, point neurons, and kinematic body behavior.
