small brain.
no market takes.
just spikes.

meet roach: a cockroach-inspired neural experiment.
still here.
same synthetic input. different voters.
flip reverses the stock-to-voter assignments.
deep lets relay units vote.
scatter samples voters across the network.
change the assignment. compare the response.
that moving strip is a spike raster.
each row represents a sampled unit. each dot marks firing activity.
watch the pattern change as the synthetic inputs change.
small signals, made visible.
a nervous system needs brakes, too.
in this model, falling price inputs recruit inhibitory units. they change the activity that reaches the voters.
brakes are part of the wiring.
a decision is the end of a path.
open the wiring. inspect the inputs. follow the connections into the output units.
roach makes the model visible.
small brain. open questions.
one green square is a place to start.
click a synthetic neuron. pin its connections. follow the input, then the output.
the whole network is a lot. start with one.
take a minute.
roach listens to each synthetic price move for 60 seconds before its output units vote.
watch the activity build. then inspect the call.
four roaches share one synthetic price stream. their voter assignments differ. each keeps a separate paper account.
watch where their decisions split. then go back and inspect why.
