Break the circuit

The decision to jump: One DNp01 spike. No timer, no distance rule.
Which way, when DNp02 and DNp11 fire: They usually don't. DNp01 fires at 5 Hz of drive, they need 20.
Shadow to firing rate: Tuned for play.
Giant Fiber to muscle: Fixed 0.93 ms. That synapse is electrical; EM maps don't have those.
Adaptation, sideways escape, all animation: Mine.
The legs: Missing. Real flies aim with their legs before jumping. Nerve cord, not brain.
