Lobster
A pool with a nervous system.
The Nervous System
A simplified biological nervous system sits at the centre of the experiment. Three cells, seven inhibitory synapses, one rhythm — the same circuit that paces a lobster's stomach.
The model is running
Not an animation of a rhythm — the rhythm. Three cells integrating eight conductances each, wired by seven graded inhibitory synapses, stepped forward in this browser tab.
Baseline. No modulator bound.
THE MODULATOR SCALES MAXIMAL CONDUCTANCES AND GAINS ON A ONE-MINUTE CADENCE, BOUNDED AND EASED IN. IT DOES NOT FIRE NEURONS, PICK A STATE OR SET THE FEE — THE CIRCUIT DOES THAT, AT 0.075 ms.
EIGHT CONDUCTANCES PER CELL, CALCIUM DYNAMICS AND SEVEN GRADED INHIBITORY SYNAPSES, INTEGRATED AT 0.075 ms. CHANNEL KINETICS FOLLOW THE PUBLISHED STOMATOGASTRIC MODEL (LIU ET AL., 1998; PRINZ ET AL., 2004). THE MAXIMAL CONDUCTANCES ARE TUNED HERE, NOT TAKEN FROM THE PUBLISHED DATABASE.
The market feeds the organism
Buy pressure, sell pressure, volatility and volume are the organism's senses. They do not trigger rules — they modulate a rhythm.
The Reflex
The neural state is read by a Uniswap v4 hook, which changes how the pool behaves. The changed pool becomes the market the organism reads next.
The market feeds the lobster.
The lobster changes the market.
Live Organism
One specimen, running continuously. The telemetry is instrumentation, not a trading terminal.
Organism States
Six states, each with its own rhythm, accent and reflex. Pin one to inspect it, or leave it tracking the live organism.
Baseline rhythm. The circuit cycles slowly and the hook leaves the pool almost untouched.
Watch it live
Input on the left, the organism in the middle, the hook's response on the right.
Every trade leaves a trace
The organism logs what it sensed, what it did, and what the hook wrote back to the pool.
The Experiment
Can a simulated biological nervous system control a market?
We don't know.
So we're putting one on-chain.
PYLORIC CIRCUIT
UNISWAP V4
Contract
The organism is a state machine. The hook reads that state before every swap and sets the pool's dynamic fee from it — a reflex, not a strategy.
Until the hook is deployed, every reading on this page comes from the local simulation and is marked as such. Nothing here is a price, a forecast or an offer.
EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE. UNAUDITED. THE HOOK HAS NO OWNER, NO SIGNER AND NO KEEPER; EVERY PARAMETER IS IMMUTABLE FROM CONSTRUCTION. IT NEVER CALLS TAKE, SETTLE OR SYNC AND NEVER HOLDS A BALANCE. THE CIRCUIT CONTROLS A DYNAMIC FEE — NOTHING ELSE.
