The first experience is on its way.Decisions appear after their next market outcome is revealed.

Paper experiment using historical Apple data. Displayed dates show when the experiment ran. Subsequent passes reuse the same history and are training results. The 302-neuron core is fixed; the custom readout learns and the experience archive grows.

WHAT’S RUNNING

A real model.
An open experiment.

One persistent c302 C0 nervous system runs on the server in the NEURON simulator: 302 neurons, 95 muscle cells, and the published chemical and electrical connections.

We encode historical price changes, momentum, volatility, drawdown and volume into eight sensory inputs. A separate online readout learns from the resulting neural activity after each next-day outcome is revealed.

What grows
Recorded experiences and learned readout weights. The biological core retains its original neuron count.
What you see
Server-measured voltages and saved events. Brightness eases between measured samples; the inspector shows exact values. The body outline is a schematic guide, not a validated movement simulation.
What trades
A simulated AAPL/cash portfolio using historical Apple data from 17 Feb 2015 to 16 Feb 2017, with 0%, 12.5% or 25% target exposure. Session timestamps show when the experiment ran; source dates remain available in memory details. No wallet or live orders are connected.
What persists
Neural state, model weights, market cursor, portfolio and decision history are checkpointed together.
How to read results
The first pass is scored before each update. Later passes revisit already-seen history. Improvement is not guaranteed.
