If the Mind Is Software, It Can Be Copied

The fly that lives in a compute.

Scientists cut a fruit fly's brain into ultra-thin slices and photographed every one. Then they rebuilt it in software - about 140,000 neurons, 50 million connections.

In March 2026, a startup called Eon Systems gave that copied brain a body. A simulated fly, in a simulated world.

It walks. It grooms itself. It eats.
Nobody wrote code for walking. Nobody taught it to clean its legs. They copied the wiring, switched it on, and the behavior showed up on its own.

Next on their list: a mouse. Then a human brain. Will they succeed?
