Emergent Observatory

Simulated organisms running the unmodified firmware behavior engine in a 3 × 2.5 m room with a charging station on the right wall. Each starts with every learned reflex at zero and is told only each channel's kind and range, plus which input is its battery. How the simulator works · Full zoo report

Inputs (what it senses, 0..1)

Outputs (what it does)

Shaded part of a body-state bar is its comfortable band. Outside it that variable is a drive, and relieving drives is the only reward.

What it learned

strongest reflex weights at the end of the trace

"When" is the motivational context whose map holds the weight: "always" acts all the time, the others act in proportion to that drive. A positive weight means more of that input pushes the actuator up.

The zoo

Self-sufficiency is lifespan divided by how long the same body lasts sitting perfectly still. Above 1 (the tick) it must have fed at the dock; 2.5 means every life reached the cap.
