I spun up 100 Namespace Devboxes, each running as an independent musician with its own instrument and starting tempo, using Strudel's audio engine, Superdough.
All 100 ran in parallel, exchanging beats over the network and adjusting their timing using a rule inspired by the Kuramoto model of coupled oscillators.
After 139 seconds, they found a common beat.
Spinning up 100 Namespace Devboxes, each simulating a 166,700-neuron male fruit fly connectome playing DOOM.
I selectively silenced neurons across the connectome to test how targeted lesions alter motor output and survival. 100 fly brains, 100 neural perturbations, One last fly standing.
