# what this is

WormBrain is one copy of a real worm's nervous system, left running on the blockchain.

The animal is *Caenorhabditis elegans*. The adult hermaphrodite has 302 neurons. In 1986 a team published the first complete wiring diagram. Later papers finished it up. We run that list. Every cell keeps the name it has in the papers.

In dirt, that network smells food, flinches, and crawls. Here, the same network sits on memecoins and utility tokens. You can follow the wallet on FOMO like any other trader.

## In one breath

We took the real brain, decided what a chart should feel like, and let the wiring make a move.

## "Forked and uploaded"

A connectome is a phone book for cells: who talks to whom, how often, which way. Phone books can be copied. We copied this one and run it as a single animal. One clock. One state. One wallet.

We did not redraw the wires to make it "better at markets." The map stays the map. What we tweak is how loudly some cells listen, and how the outside world lands on the nose. Those knobs live in [How we trained it](file:///3621209/03-the-experiment/how-we-trained-it.md).

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is an experiment. Tokens on FOMO can go to zero. Do not copytrade this because a nematode looked sure of itself.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wormbrain.info/explore-wormbrain/01-start/what-this-is.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
