NEURAL CIRCUIT

the frog brain, live — sensory afferents → interneurons → competing motor pools → decision

click a neuron · green = excitatory · red = inhibitory

population inspector

Select a neural population to inspect its activation, wiring and influence.

BULL / BEAR — antagonist pools coupled by commissural inhibitory relays (cIN), as in the Xenopus swim circuit.

DANGER — the stopping pathway: strong inhibition onto BULL; vetoes entries.

sensory neurons

Opponent-coded market features: each family drives an ON channel (evidence for) and an OFF channel (evidence against). Missing data drives nothing — absence is never evidence.

reciprocal inhibition

BULL and BEAR excite their commissural relays (cIN), which inhibit the opposite pool — the same left/right antagonism that alternates a tadpole’s swim strokes. Self-excitation gives the winner persistence; brief blips can’t flip the state.

danger pathway

Rug indicators, liquidity collapse, contract permissions and concentration excite DANGER, which projects strong inhibition onto BULL — modeled on the tadpole’s GABAergic stopping pathway. High danger also hard-vetoes entries in the strategy layer.
