The following link is for a VB6 implementation to demonstrate the behavior resulting from following network wave flow. There is no motor memory system, which makes it unable to take evasive action after entering a shock zone. But otherwise after enough experience the virtual critter does surprisingly well going around instead of back into trouble again.

It greatly increases the size of the download to include the needed 24 bit input to direction vector files used to simply the math/logic related code, increases program speed. These will be automatically calculated after starting the code for the first time. The array contents are then saved to disk to start up fast after that. The first startup might take half a minute or more, much larger download can in some cases take much longer.
There are comments including links to videos and papers contained in each respective .frm module. These can be read without VB6 by opening the .frm files as a text file.
Credit for getting this online by now goes to HTM Hackers’ Hangout - Apr 6 2018 where it ended up with at least the silent critter on the screen one minute into the live discussion (later video) to indicate we were there too, to work on something, but at the time did not know what.
