PROTONEURON · RESEARCH LAB v22.1

The Living Curriculum. More Fuel.

OFFLINE SINGLE HTML · NO INSTALLER · NO NETWORK

Train the weights. Occasionally evolve the wiring. Let each promising new anatomy relearn. Climb from 3% to 100% distal gravity only when performance qualifies—then keep evolving at full gravity for as many rounds as you want. Never throw away a winning brain just because the original fuel tank ran dry.

01 / One button. One curriculum. Unlimited refills.

Start normally, then add more learning rounds whenever you wish. The same evolved brains continue.

RK4 physics integrations

One button launches a moderate 420-round experiment. Press Add Fuel & Run to extend the SAME experiment; promotion through 100% gravity does not stop evolution. Four-second physics trials remain unchanged. Export JSON before closing for reliable backup.

Two ideas can be tested here: turn rewiring OFF to test weight learning alone, or turn diversity OFF to test a purely score-driven pool. The final independent benchmark should be run on a separate set of starting conditions.

Last behavioral novelty

Rewiring requires retuning before a candidate is judged. Top fitness is always preserved; secondary champions must be meaningfully different in motor response.

04 / Diverse champion archive

Best performer is protected. Other survivors are retained for contrasting action patterns—not just different wire addresses.

Fresh independent tests use a separate seed family. The training gate is reused during learning, so its scores are selection metrics—not final unbiased evidence.

05 / Neural microscope and cart replay

Physics: 1.5 kg cart, three 0.4 kg distal point masses, 0.6 m links, RK4 at 20 ms; 45 N motor and 2.4 m track.

Hover over any neuron or click to pin it. Lines show the three real incoming fibers of the selected neuron; green/violet is actual firing sign.

Inspect neuron

Start an experiment, then select a champion to inspect.

Each neuron has exactly three inputs. The 27 motor neurons also feed a learned 27-way motor readout, and the optional eight sensor shortcuts bypass this restriction at the motor—not inside any neuron.

Research notes: Fuel means more reward-learning rounds, not longer four-second trials. Automatic refueling works while the tab remains active; browsers may throttle background tabs. A hard page crash can lose progress since the last checkpoint. All learning is teacher-free reward-difference perturbation search, not online temporal-difference actor–critic or backpropagation. Only 81 motor dendrites, 27 motor readout gains, and optionally eight shortcuts learn. The other 219 internal weights stay continuous but fixed. Rewiring can target either the 27 motor cells or all cells. The gravity curriculum artificially scales the distal gravitational term, not inertial mass; it is not nine different physical poles. All computations happen locally in this page.
