Model and inputs
The MaleCNS v1.0 whole-brain connectome (165,733 neurons / 25,590,000 synapses) runs continuously in 1-millisecond steps.
Features of posts currently gaining traction on X (early-momentum score, media presence, growth rate, reach, language, and account type) are fed into the whole-brain simulation as “smells” across 6 channels. The responses of the mushroom body (the memory center) and innate circuits are displayed. Response strength weakly correlates with post growth.
