# ashleyotooligan/ant-1

> A simulated ant with a recurrent neural controller in a 2D arena: it finds an odour source, records a food-location vector, and returns to its nest. An open laboratory for observing and intervening in the sensorimotor loop.

- Magnitude: 0.9 out of 10 — Steady

## Useful for

- Open ANT-1.html and watch the ant's trajectory without installing dependencies
- Run protocol EXP-03 with the left antenna silenced and compare return counts
- Reproduce an archived run from a seed and export the session

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 5 expected by the end of the day.
- The repository is 17 days old and already has 255 stars.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
