A multi-agent simulation based on the transport networks of Physarum polycephalum (true slime mold). Thousands of independent agents move forward, depositing a trail of chemo-attractant. They sense the trail with three forward-facing sensors (left, center, right) and steer towards the highest concentration.
The trail diffuses and decays over time. This simple local feedback loop allows the agents to self-organize into complex, highly efficient macroscopic highway networks that mirror biological foraging patterns.
A pure ALife demonstration of decentralized spatial computing.
