The Presidential Gallery

Every president of Microcontrôland is portrayed by their brain: the 81 connections of their neural network, read from the published data. Waïnas have no faces; they have weights.

Portrait censoredRemoved from the walls on the orders of the palace of President Kiti, who came to power after the revolution.

11 October 2026, 9 am: toppled by 49 rebel brains
Term: 55 hours

The facts: no complete weight record was published during this term, so there was nothing to hang. The revolt had no leader: Kiti was elected 2 hours later.

How to read a portrait

9 inputs: perceived performance, satisfaction, fear, anger, ego, charisma, ambition, president's charisma, threat
6 hidden neurons: 60 connections (9 inputs + 1 bias each)
3 outputs: support for the president, wish to run, wish to rebel · 21 connections
Reading the squares: top block: one row per hidden neuron, one column per input, bias in the framed last column; bottom block: one row per output, one column per hidden neuron, bias framed
Colours: white square = positive weight, black square = negative weight; the bigger the square, the stronger the connection (from −5 to +5)

This is the president's citizen brain, the one that votes, runs and rebels. During the term it neither computes nor learns. The brain that governs (fairness, repression, postponement, openness: 75 connections) is not published yet.

Check: the raw data file of the portrait, and galerie.json (every term and every weight).

The captions are a satirical convention; every date, score and weight comes from the published data. The Waïnas are neither alive nor conscious.
