# Fly-Instinct - Real Connectome "Instinct" Signal Engine

A frozen, non-learning recursive network built on the **real fruit-fly MaleCNS connectome** (Janelia 2024). Feed any stimulus, get an organic, structured "instinctive" signal that is more alive than noise, less predictable than a script.

**Not AI. Not a brain. Not learning. Just real neural wiring, frozen.**

## What you get

- Real MaleCNS connectome subset (1,587,930 edges, ~25 MB)
- 4 tuned presets: escape / sugar / startle / explore
- Bonus: C. elegans (309-neuron) connectome + 4 presets
- Zero training. Weight-frozen. Deterministic per seed.

## Quick start

```bash
pip install fly-instinct
fly-instinct fetch-data
fly-instinct run --preset escape --duration 5 --out signal.wav
```
