Singularity WorksA simulated fruit-fly brain connectome — about 167,000 neurons — wired up as the controller for a game of Space Invaders.
Reconstructs the Great Bath of Mohenjo-daro in 3D from excavation records, tagging every element as measured, inferred or unconfirmed, with a timeline of the site.
Mohenjo-daro, one of the world's oldest cities, is an active UNESCO World Heritage Site that is decaying right now, rising groundwater deposits salt that crumbles its 4,500-year-old brick, and only about 10% of the site has ever been excavated. At the same time, anyone using AI to learn history runs into a second, related problem: AI tools confidently generate plausible-sounding "facts" with no way to tell what's real, what's a reasonable guess, and what's pure invention. Historians, students, and the public have no way to trust AI-built reconstructions of the past.
Strata reconstructs the Great Bath of Mohenjo-daro live in 3D from real excavation data (Marshall's 1931 survey), built piece by piece by Fable 5.1. Every element is tagged by exactly how confidently it's known 🟢 measured from the excavation record, 🟡 a reasonable engineering inference, or ⚪ genuinely unconfirmed. A timeline lets you scrub through the site's real dated history built around 2500 BCE, declining by 1900 BCE, rediscovered in 1922, with the model's condition changing to match. Where the record has real gaps, Strata says so instead of inventing an answer.
