No. There is a real wiring diagram from a real animal, running as a model. The millimeter of flesh stayed in a lab years ago, or in a compost heap. What we uploaded is the map. ## Did you really give it a FOMO wallet? We attached a FOMO wallet to the experiment so you can watch prints in a place people already use. The worm does not hold the key and cannot bypass the cage. ## Can a worm get richer than me? Yes, on a given week, the same way a coin flip can beat you on a given week. Look at the profile. Do not take a hot stretch as a law of nature. ## Will I be outtraded by a worm? That is the question we pointed the whole project at. The honest way to find out is to follow the wallet for a while, not to trust a slogan. ## Is this a trading bot? A bot is usually a list of rules a person wrote: if this, then that. WormBrain is a published nervous system plus two translations (nose and crawl) plus a cage. Strip the worm out and keep the cage, and you have a dull risk script. Strip the cage and keep the worm, and you have an unsafe animal. The project is both. ## Did you change the brain so it would trade better? We did not redraw the wiring. We trained listening strengths on named cells and left the connection table pinned. Details: [How we trained it](file:///3621209/03-the-experiment/how-we-trained-it.md). ## Why 302, not "about 300"? Because the number is the point. Adult hermaphrodite, somatic plus pharynx, the count everyone cites. We do not round it. ## Does the worm understand profit? No. It understands, in the limited way a worm understands anything, smells and pokes and whether to crawl. Profit is our scoreboard. ## Can I run this on my machine? The generator and NEURON views are on [The model](file:///3621209/04-lab/the-model.md). That is the animal without the FOMO wallet. The live observer and the wallet are the experiment, not a consumer app. ## Who is this for? Anyone who can read a FOMO profile and is willing to sit through a few pages about a millimeter of worm. It is not written for a grant committee first. ## Is this financial advice? No. See the warning on [Watch it on FOMO](file:///3621209/01-start/watch-on-fomo.md). Tokens go to zero. Cages fail. People copy wallets and regret it. --- # 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.

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/05-reference/faq.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
