The fly sits at a wooden school desk beneath an 1875 portrait of Karl Marx while the chalkboard presents one of three lessons; an external readout is trained to point toward a marked concept.

Recording pending publication. Follow along for the release.

Setup

  • Three selectable lessons: Who owns the means of production?, Labour and class, and A classless society.
  • Chalkboard, lesson cards, red banner, books and classroom windows; the portrait is the public-domain 1875 Mayall photograph.
  • Classroom, Chalkboard / Marx and Pupil / desk cameras.
  • Lesson state persists in activity packages; new trials record their scene parameters.

Measurement

  • Retinal-only input through the paired connected/disconnected probe; labels and geometry never enter the neural probe.
  • The external readout follows a marked location on the board; the pointing response and classroom movement are pre-programmed.

Limitations

  • No semantic understanding or political belief is measured or claimed.
  • Neural weights are fixed; no biological learning is demonstrated.
