Maybe mold can figure out how divide up the entire area into "one truck" sized routes and indicate how the drivers should navigate within their route

@@DownhillAllTheWay Railroad systems don’t just follow the most efficient way, otherwise every single train line would be straight from point A to point B. There need to work around things that can’t be reproduced in a simulation with a few cornflakes. Cities are all built at different time periods, they have old existing pathways between them that highways often follow, the country has a budget to build the system, railroads aren’t all built at the same time, et cætera. So engineers won’t necessarily make it the most efficient, they’ll make it the most practical. The amoeba however, not having as many rules to respect and building its own system all at once, can afford more things and yes, it can be more efficient. Doesn’t make the engineers dumber tho

It's true, Japan's current rail system was mostly designed by a slime mold. They had to adjust a few things, because one path lead straight through a mountain, another a lake lol. But they didn't set up a maze, it was a flat surface, allowing it to go straight towards each oat. What they were looking for specifically was more efficient paths between the stations. Larger, more important stations were represented by larger oats. So the slime mold did spread out and grabbed all the oats, but eventually contracted itself to pathways between the oats, small lanes on the outskirts and larger lanes between the major stations. 👍

Slime molds are amoebozoans and are single enclosed cells with thousands of nuclei. Like other amoebae, they have very flexible cytoskeletons (the filament structures inside all cells) that can grow or shrink rapidly to drastically change the overall shape of the cell. Slime molds move with protrusions from their membrane called pseudopodia to "crawl" along a surface. The cytoskeletal filaments inside the cell grow in length near the membrane in the direction the cell wants to go, "pushing" the cell membrane out as they do, and the cytoplasm from the rest of the body fills the new pseudopod. Elsewhere on the cell, pseudopodia shrink as the filaments and cytoplasm inside the pseudopodia return to the main body region. So the overall volume of the cell stays the same, and the cell membrane itself is not really being stretched.

@Ronald 98 yep-slime molds are living organisms that eat, breathe, and reproduce. They belong to the eukaryotic group Amoebozoa, which is named after the amoeba-like life stage that most amoebozoans go through in their life cycle. Some groups of amoebozoans have evolved the ability where the individual microscopic amoebae can congregate and fuse together into a macroscopic structure called a plasmodium. This is what slime molds are. The plasmodium of this slime mold that you see here is just one part of its life cycle. Amoebozoans are all descended from a common ancestor that diverged from other eukaryotes some 1.5 to 2 billion years ago. They are very distant relatives to fungi and animals but are more closely related to fungi and animals than they are to plants and algae.

Jerry's pov: The time I got reincarnated as a slime to solve puzzles

It's called chemotaxis. The slime leaves behind chemicals as it finds its path, and once it finds its target, it can chemically sense the chemical concentration gradient of what it left behind and remember how to return to the original spore. It also can do this to the carbohydrates and organic molecules that indicate a food source.

I think Jerry is following a nutrient gradient in the agar. As the oat is sitting to the agar, tiny particles are breaking off and dissolving in the agar (or something to that effect), and once this cloud of nutrients reaches Jerry, all he has to do is grow in the direction of increasing nutrient concentration.

@ImOverleveled420

@@ImOverleveled420 Yeah I'm not really sure how exactly it would spread out if at all. But I noticed that at the very beginning, it doesn't really need to follow anything since there's only one path for the first part of the maze, so the nutrients from the oat in the middle don't need to spread very far. Then, when it hits the oat in the middle, it stops for a while before starting to grow towards the end of the maze, which to me could be explained by the cloud of nutrients from the oats at the end taking some time to reach the middle.

Still doesn’t make much sense considering how it always finds he most direct path towards the food and the food particles would be everywhere in a certain radius of the oats because of diffusion and it’s confusing still, I had this idea it used small tendrils to search for food but that doesn’t make sense because then it would just grow from the already made tendril but maybe it does do that but it’s more efficient and faster in the main clump idk.

Ooo I keep and breed these guys. I prefer to use a fine wet sand as a substrate rather than agar since sand doesn't mold. However I know agar is much more lab-friendly.

I have always wanted to see a version of this experiment where some of the bait(oats) are removed RIGHT before the slime mold is added to the agar. I suspect that some compounds from the oat bait is diffusing through the agar (or above the agar, in the air), before the slime mold is added. If that is the case, then it is not as amazing that the slime mold can follow the trail back to the source of the compound it senses right away - there is going to be a natural gradient from the start point to the nearest source of food, such that the concentration of the diffused bait compound increases with proximity to the bait itself. So, removing the intermediary "treat" bait would test this hypothesis. If you allow TWO routes to the bait station, with a "treat" payload along the longer route, then you can test the intelligence of the slime mold by removing the "treat" payload RIGHT before adding the slime mold and seeing if the mold chooses the long route or the short route to the main bait station.

Jerry doesn't have senses, it's a single cell slime mold. There is no sensory organelles. No taste, touch, vibration, balance, temperature, or anything else. This yellow slime can memorize paths, and find food with literally no way to do any of that. That's why scientists are fascinated.

Most probably thats the case. Treat was diffused in the medium. The more closer Jerry was to treat the faster he was. Treat concentration is higher closer to source

Now that’s the kinda pet I like, just slightly more interesting and intelligent as my old pet rock!

Maybe what gives it the feeling he's going straight to the end is the micro nutrients being leached from the food source into the substrate almost leaving a 'trail'... Awesome to watch.

Imagine you come into existence as a mold in a lab

Could you perform this experiment again in a humidity-controlled environment, so you don't need to add so much liquid to the maze? It would appear some people think that compounds in the "food source" are saturating the liquid, and somehow skewing the results.

@timinatorlp9524

Жыл бұрын

It's Agar, it becomes solid once it is cooled. It wouldn't matter how much is in there, the compounds would diffuse anyway as long as there is continuous coverage. They already know it works by recognising the diffused compounds, but it would make the video less mysterious if they mentioned it.

its not though. the oat dispersed into the media and the slime followed the nutrient gradient. you can't display intelligence if you lack information, jerry isn't psychic and it didn't explore the environment equally, it made a direct line to the food so its obvious it was picking up chemical information pertaining to it

But this isn’t intelligence. This is the equivalent of you finding where the source of weed smoke is in a maze. You can smell the weed, and as you get closer, the smell gets stronger. You could do this too. However, let's say the environment has multiple different facilities. A living room with couches and stuff, and multiple fitness areas. A human would be able to just go right to the living room to find the potheads and read the signs pointing there, whereas this thing couldn't. A human would find it faster. We can think and this thing cannot, it is just using instinct and advanced chemical senses.
