Creature: Learning over time

I updated the visuals of the reservoir and the cell connections. It is easier to see how the twelve-cell ring is wired, and how the six reservoir cells connect through it.

Creature's twelve-cell ring surrounding six reservoir cells, with connections between the cells and anchors for sound, motion, light, weather, speaker, and LED. — The updated ring and reservoir view.

There is now a view of its ability to predict certain events over time: how much of the change in light it can explain from its own strip, how far its predicted sound is from what it hears, how surprised the cells are, and how the links between them change.

Six hours of Creature's learning history, showing own-light prediction, own-voice error, average cell surprise, and changing ring connection weights. — The prediction and connection history. Own-light scores are better when higher; own-voice error is better when lower.

I can follow those changes across hours now, alongside the live field.
