SwarmRoot #001

SwarmRoot is a persistent animal-token identity backed by the published 302-neuron C. elegans connectome, simulated continuously since the engine started. Its life is never reset.

Vitals

Live from the engine. Every label explains how it is measured.

Age
Time since the engine started. Not yet registered on chain.
Distance travelled
Decisions
State changes that held at least 500 ms.
Experiences
On-chain memories
Read from the contract, not counted locally.
Behavioural mode
Over the last five minutes.

How each number is measured

Age

Now minus the block timestamp of the genesis registration transaction. Until SwarmRoot #001 is registered on chain there is no birth block, so this shows how long the engine has been running and is labelled as such.

Distance travelled

Path length of the head position in micrometres since birth. It accumulates every simulation step at 100 Hz, so reversals add to it rather than cancelling out.

Decisions

Behavioural state changes that persisted at least 500 ms. Shorter flickers are not counted, because a state that does not hold is not a decision.

Experiences

Events that passed the engine significance filter since birth: discovering an object, avoiding danger, finding reward, entering a new region, learning an association, or reaching a milestone.

On-chain memories

Read from memoryCount(organismId) on the NervaLifeLog contract. Not a local counter: if the chain says a different number, the chain is right.

Activation

r(V), between 0 and 1, from the neuron membrane potential through a logistic curve. Most C. elegans neurons signal with graded potentials rather than all-or-none spikes, which is why this is a continuous value and never a spike rate.

Sensory drive share

Sum of absolute sensory input current per category over the last 500 ms, divided by the total across categories. Below a minimum total the panel says "No significant stimulus" instead of rendering noise as signal.

Identity

What this worm identity is, in verifiable terms.

Life history

The sediment column of on-chain memories is not built.It renders one capsule per memory recorded on Robinhood Chain, and the contracts are not deployed, so there are no memories to embed. The engine is already recording experiences locally; they appear here once genesis runs.

Tendencies

Approach and avoidance indices are not published yet.They compare behaviour on day one against today, which needs the engine's long-term aggregates. The engine keeps ten minutes of full-rate history in memory; the hourly and daily rollups in spec 14.10 are not implemented.
