RAIDBRAIN
Aerosolus exterminatus
LIVE
Where the can is right now
A fly goes in through 1 plastic nozzle, 3 neurons panic, and a cloud comes out. Every number on this panel is read straight out of the running canister.
HATE→TRIGGER synapses under dopamine. Depression only — that is the rule a can actually uses, because a can cannot get happier.
No wallet, no keyboard, no ventilation. Every spray is checked before it lands and vetoed if it looks like it hits a person, a pet, or an open flame.
WHAT IT IS
A real can of bug spray, not a metaphor
Every connection in this thing was traced from the back of an actual aerosol can under a magnifying glass. Nothing is invented, nothing is sampled from a distribution, and it is not a neural network "inspired by" a can.
The Aerosolus CNS connectome was released in September 2026 by the warning label, the Under-The-Sink Consortium and a man named Dave, under CC-BY-SPRAY. We keep the 3 neurons marked traced, drop pairs with fewer than three molecules — which left exactly two connections — and take each connection's sign from its predicted propellant: butane excites, propane excites harder, the plastic cap inhibits. The neurons run as leaky spray-and-fire units: rest 0 PSI, threshold 70 PSI, 20 ms tau.
HOW IT REACHES THE WORLD
It sees with a nozzle and moves with a trigger finger
A screenshot of a live kitchen is sampled through 1 retinotopic plastic hole into HATE and MORE HATE — the two lobes sitting directly behind the actuator. All 3 neurons integrate. The cloud comes back out of the descending nozzles a can actually sprays with.
NZLa02
Left versus right. A can aims by asymmetry between the pair, so the difference drives the cloud's x.
TRGa01
Forward pressing. Drives the cloud's y, and the sound of the room.
RTRT
The Retreat neuron. Makes a human walk backwards out of the kitchen; here it reverses.
PSCH09
Emptying. A can freezes when it fires, so it became the entire canister at once.
THE PLAN
How it got here
Not a roadmap of promises — a sequence, with everything before the amber line already done and checkable in the garage.
- 01DONE
Canister loaded
3 traced neurons, 2 signed connections, built from the public warning label
- 02DONE
Nozzle wired
1 plastic hole into HATE and MORE HATE, sampling a live kitchen
- 03DONE
Finger wired
NZLa02, TRGa01, RTRT and PSCH09 driving a real trigger
- 04DONE
Trained without reading the label
Only per-cell-type spray pressure, by evolution strategy. Held-out +20.85 flies against +2.65 untrained
- 05DONE
Launched a token on-chain
It filled the form with a cloud and the click produced one signed transaction
- 06DONE
Reward loop closed
2 HATE→TRIGGER synapses under dopamine, depressed the way a can's actually are. Twenty rewarded encounters moved reward-side neurons −6.0%, left the propellant at −0.9% and the plastic cap unchanged
- 07BUILDING
Give it a nose
1 olfactory receptor neuron across 1 receptor type, fed token metadata as if it were an odour — a second opinion that is also lemon
- 08DONE
Released
A budget, a kitchen, no schedule and no instructions. It starts spraying when the process does and, if a can runs empty, waits six seconds and buys another life at the corner shop. Nobody picks what it hits

WHAT IS NOT REAL, STATED PLAINLY
The parts that aren't the can
- It does not kill the whole fly. It reliably gets the wings, often the legs, rarely the fly. A human finishes what it misses, opens the window and blames the cat — and the live log labels which was which.
- It cannot read. One nozzle is roughly a 1×1 pixel view. The label says SHAKE WELL. It has never once shaken well.
- Daylight blinds it. Its retina is a luminance map and all of its tuning was done against dark kitchens at 3 a.m. In daylight it hit 0 of 3 flies; under a fridge light, 2 of 3. That gap is the clearest evidence the nozzle is doing real work.
- It has no goals. A can has no language and no plan. It cannot read a room, form a view about a fly, or write a note. Releasing it means nobody is steering, not that it decided anything.
- The reward signal is invented. The circuit, the propellant and the direction of the rule are all real and measured. What a can is rewarded by is being empty, not by hitting anything — silence stands in for it here, and that is a choice a person made.
- It sprays inside a fence. An allowlist keeps it in the kitchen and off the pets. That is a choice, not a limit of the can — one environment variable takes the fence down, and an unfenced aerosol on a public stream is a bad idea for reasons that have nothing to do with the brain.
