Ever wanted a living, breathing digital brain on your wrist?

Welcome to NeuroWorm C.elegans WatchFace - a tiny, fully interactive tribute to decades of mind-blowing neuroscience. You are now wearing an actual, biologically modeled Connectome: a digital replica of the entire neural system and brain of Caenorhabditis elegans, the legendary little worm that pioneered full genomic and synaptic mapping.
It is a humble salute to all the brilliant scientists who, starting way back in 1986, dedicated their lives to mapping every single neuron and synapse of this incredible creature. A true triumph of human intellect, scientific tenacity, and the unbeatable ingenuity of Mother Nature and Father Evolution.

A quick heads-up, though:
Your new microscopic wrist buddy is alive and motivated by actual neurochemistry. So... we sincerely apologize in advance if it nibbles on your time digits when it’s hungry, and well... leaves a few tiny digital "pebbles" behind on the screen when nature calls. Hey, biology isn't always neat!

Work in Progress & Human Patience Required:
There is still a lot of heavy engineering ahead to link this biological neural network to all of your smartwatch's hardware sensors... and eventually, to your nervous system, user ;) Please be patient with us: evolution took hundreds of millions of years to build this organism, whereas I’ve only been coding this project for about a month. Active optimization is ongoing, so if you spot any bugs or weird behavior, please report them to the developer!
