HOURMIDGE
The fly is explicit
The product’s operator is a physical illustrated Drosophila with head electrodes and visible cables. It is not an eye grid or an insect-shaped logo standing in for the animal.
LOCAL BRAIN–MACHINE DEMO / NO WALLET
A fruit fly
keeps the hour.
Paint a day as light and dark. A recognizable Drosophila, wired to a labeled neural simulation, scans the field and nominates one free hour. Accept it or let it go.

Show the fly
your day.
It cannot read appointments. Each hour is only a bright or dark patch. The neural model favors a free patch with clear edges.

HONESTY / MODEL BOUNDARY
Fly body.
Small simulation.
Hourmidge borrows the causal shape of a brain–machine interface, not the claim of reproducing a whole animal.
The model is reduced
This browser runs 124 labeled leaky integrate-and-fire units: 48 visual columns, 48 lamina units, four descending roles, and 24 hour integrators.
The citation stays a citation
The 2026 Janelia FlyEM male CNS release reports 165,122 traced neurons and about 10.2 million connections (CC-BY). Hourmidge does not load that volume.
The chain stays closed
Kept hours persist locally and export as JSON. Minting is not implemented; no wallet, signature, transaction, yield, or reward is simulated.
