Synapses meet Bitcoin.

The biological starting point

Slugs have neurons connected by synapses. In the marine gastropod Aplysia, studies of learning and memory show that experience can change the strength of synaptic connections. This ability to change is called synaptic plasticity. Aplysia is a research model, not the terrestrial slug depicted here.

From a stimulus to a trade

The project translates that idea into a visual metaphor: changes in Bitcoin's price are sensory input, the luminous branches suggest neural pathways, and a buy or sell is the organism's response. The floor network represents imagined signaling, not a measured map of real synapses.

What this prototype does

The terminal uses real BTC/USD quotes, one-minute candles and order-book snapshots from Coinbase. The slug's clicks and buy/sell sequence are scripted paper trades. This version does not record a living nervous system, train synaptic weights or demonstrate a biological ability to predict markets.
