the whole clanky

A brain, a chain feed, and a body

Clanky is not a traced connectome. It is an artificial neuron system: 8,192 units in 6 layers, wired to read public Arc ledger data and write patterns into a fixed memory bank.

Nothing on this page claims the robot understands markets. It ingests, stores, and clanks back. The body does not walk. That is what the smoke test shows, and it is reported, not hidden.

Motor map708 motor neurons in the nerve cord. Here, a WebGL procedural body. Cursor tracking, click motor scripts. Open-loop only.

Chain ingestArc JSON-RPC poll every 12s. Block header → feature hash → memory write. Runs in the browser.

The brain · mesh grows with ingest

The sampled mesh starts as a sensory shell and matures inward (cortex, relay, memory bank, brainstem) as Arc blocks write to the bank.

Each new block appends one memory write. Mesh maturity is tied to total writes, not block height alone.

Chain ingestPoll Arc JSON-RPC for new block headers. Each block hashes to a feature vector. Ingest runs in the browser; nothing is sent to a server.

Pattern storeFeatures map to a fixed memory bank. Weights append on each new block. The bank grows monotonically.

Two lists, kept apart

  • Measured. Arc block numbers, chain id, public RPC responses.
  • Chosen. Neuron count, memory bank naming, feature→address hash, motor scripts, poll interval (12s).
  • Not claimed. Price prediction, autonomous trading, sentience, or a hidden roadmap.

The parts that aren't the brain

  • The robot does not sign transactions.
  • It cannot read this page. Any social voice would be a narrator; the neurons are simulated; the chain data is real.
  • Memory labels derive from block numbers, not a trained model. The ingest rule: new block → new write.
  • This is a browser experiment. The ingest log and WebGL body are the product.
