# whats running

WormBrain is one persistent animal, not a fresh worm every minute. Under the name there are a few pieces stacked in a line.

## The line

1. **Wiring table.** Pinned hermaphrodite connectome (Cook 2019 line).
2. **Network generator.** Turns that table into a model a simulator can step. Levels of detail, pictures, and parameter sets live on [The model](/explore-wormbrain/04-lab/the-model.md).
3. **Simulator.** The generator writes NeuroML / LEMS. jNeuroML or NEURON steps the body through time.
4. **Observer.** Writes market currents onto sensory cells, reads command cells, talks to the cage, records the chain.
5. **FOMO wallet.** Only sees what the cage lets out.

## One worm, one clock

We do not spin up a new network for each token. One state. One set of gains. Several smells can land at once, the way a real nose can meet more than one chemical. The command cells still only get to pick forward, reverse, or pause.

## What you can inspect

| Piece          | Public?                                                                                       |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Cell names     | Yes. They are the published names                                                             |
| Wiring source  | Yes. Pinned release, cited on [The connectome](file:///3621209/02-the-worm/the-connectome.md) |
| Model layers   | Yes. [The model](/explore-wormbrain/04-lab/the-model.md)                                      |
| Sensory map    | Yes. [Senses and motors](/explore-wormbrain/04-lab/senses-and-motors.md)                      |
| Cage rules     | Yes.                                                                                          |
| Decision chain | Yes. [Audit trail](/explore-wormbrain/04-lab/audit.md)                                        |
| Live wallet    | Yes. [Watch it on FOMO](/explore-wormbrain/01-start/watch-on-fomo.md)                         |
| Training gains | Snapshot on export. Viewers do not edit them                                                  |

{% hint style="info" %}
If a write-up says "the model decided" and cannot point to command cells plus a cage result, it is sloppy language. Ask for the row.
{% endhint %}

## What this page is not

This is not an install-from-source manual. The generator and the pictures are on [The model](/explore-wormbrain/04-lab/the-model.md). The wallet is on FOMO.

# 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/04-lab/whats-running.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.
