What the model can show
Relationships between food, modeled needs, environment and behavior. Development through egg, larva, pupa and adult stages. A way to practice changing a variable and recording an observation.
What it cannot establish
A result in Fly Lab illustrates the model’s rules. It is not independent evidence that a real insect would respond in exactly that way. Scores and sample sizes are not clinical measurements or real exposure doses.
The Neural tab is a reduced visualization, not a neuron-by-neuron execution of a connectome. Movement and condensation are approximations, not validated biomechanics or fluid dynamics. The model has not undergone external scientific validation.
