Respect the upstream terms for data and derived recordings; the original code's MIT license does not supersede them. This is a noncommercial educational demonstration, without endorsement by the original researchers.

The original connectivity tables are fetched from their pinned source rather than included here. The derived material included here consists of simulation recordings, selected neuron identifiers, statistics and a browser-ready export. Three trials per condition were run using the original equations, with a memory-efficient loader and a documented contemporary software environment. The original publication's full experimental program is not reproduced.

## This demonstration

Experiment orchestration, validation, illustrated body, interface and symbolic decoder: Christopher & Astra, September 2026. The illustrated mouth is an original signal display, not a calibrated biomechanical model. Its motion is driven exclusively by recorded output spikes. No sensory-label-to-mouth shortcut is used.
