Development log

Legend

excitatory neuron (circle)

inhibitory neuron (square)

input neuron — rhythmic drive

ringed = musical voice (output)

green ring = newborn structure

red ✕ = pruned

violet ring = walker (melodic agent)

gold diamond = modulator — rarely nudges the key round the circle of fifths

Turn on sound, press run. Pitch is anatomy: region depth sets the octave (center = low, edge = high), so watch regions divide and climb in register. Ringed neurons play when they spike; violet walkers roam the graph as melodic voices — and the structures they play are the ones that survive. Strum fans chords into arpeggios; variation sets how adventurous walkers are.
