What's crazy is the original line that was keeping 1 and 3 together became redundant after 3 matched with 4, and you see it start to die off pretty quickly.

I was absurdly happy when it finally found that last bit of food. :P

I was so excited when it finally found all 4 food circles! :D

Maybe it's just all the acid I've done...but I think that all of humanity would benefit from watching this entire video. I sat and watched this in total awe inspired silence; while the slime mold crawled and crept, I understood the rise and fall of cultural trends, the whole of civilization's triumphs and follies. I saw the veins and arteries of our bodies and of our souls form and die with "the times". And for a flashing moment, it all made sense. This video needs music...

If you google "physarum polycephalum biological supplies" you will find several companies that sell it.

This is exactly what I imagine “Space Exploration” to be like. Say Earth is the nucleus of Physarum polycephalum and each food is another viable planet thousands or millions of miles away. Yup... space exploration is going to be tough.

the physarum polycephalum have some sense of smel like the cuscuta remosa?

Where do they come from? How do you acquire it

Impeccably astute deduction.

Is this an example of breadth first search?

why it avoided the middle left tablet?

ever tried to put them on or around magnets?

It looks like an AI playing an intricate game of resource management and procurement

why do you think it reached the 2nd node last?

Hi WIll, hope you can see this message. I wonder what are the 4 pieces of food in this video? It looks like oat, but how in such perfect shape? Thanks! I am doing research on that and looking for some standardized food. This could be very good option!

Interesting that the slaimmold chose the 3. object first than the 4. and finally the closest.

It appears Physarum polycephalum calculates a sphere surface of 1d loops enclosing 2d sphere surface, each moving opposite every one it touches at those points meaning something is held equal between them and to keep that equality the borders between the loops change shape. The outer such loop would be turning opposite all the others, which when viewing a planar graph as a sphere surface it rotates to reverse direction so actually they all turn the same (a debt of what caused this unbalance, answer is the food source and electricity in the slime). In physics there is a tool that opens like pliars and closes a loop around any coil to measure, I think its magnetic flux, and when I first heard that it made no sense why it gives the same reading regardless of where the tool is held as long as it closes the loop. It appears to be that gravity, which is pushing near perpendicular to the slime as its on a mostly flat surface, is any existence of a sphere where things all turn the same direction and cover its surface (planar graph), at least in this simple case without going to more dimensions, and there is something related to torque between when the slime is changing back and forth only between small ends which form a mostly smooth surface and do not approach the stronger loops, where this outer opposite flowing loop (which is not really the right thing to call it but close) can be something about the time or frequency when the slime nearly doesnt change and flashes between small loops appearing and being sucked back in, and something more about space when its expanding about the same speed. It should be that this planar graph (modified somehow with torque etc how the loops relate to eachother) of where the slime grows and closes 2d areas, could be viewed as any of those loops being the outer loop unseen as its border. Earth's gravity, which does affect the slime and everyday events, may work to rotate it as if it were one of the loops the slime grew. It is of course an object within these physics and a simple life form, so some math should be common between its behaviors and how a fluid finds its lowest level.

Looks like they're communicating back and forth to find food. Interesting

I d like to know a few things: What is in the tablets? Did it skip it accidentally or on purpose? and is it really returning or dying?

Это слизевик, верно? Чем он питался? Похоже на бумажные пластинки, пропитанные чем-то питательным, например, бульоном.

Strange how it missed the source nearest to it, initially.

It's like the German army invading Russia (or ISIS invading Syria) forming a supply line, bypassing the insignificant cities (food) for the latter waves to mop up. What would happen if the vein was cut? Will the blob try to restore it? Or would it act as two separate entities? What if a rival blob was put in? Will they compete with each other or work together?

tit sims to be a simple formula, the one closest to the food wins. it also seems that it has 2 tactics, one scanning the closest area, and when that fails, make a run for it by going after the best smell trail of food. it's a quite amazing being, it's like a brain without a body.

God has indicated such miracles of His creation in Chapter 2 of Verse 26.... "Indeed, Lord (Allah) is not ashamed to set forth an example (like) even (of) a mosquito and (even) something smaller than it. Then as for those who believed, [thus] they will know that it (is) the truth from their Lord. And as for those who disbelieved [thus] they will say what (did) intend Allah by this example? He lets go astray by it many and He guides by it many. And not He lets go astray by it except the defiantly disobedient."..... Such miracles are easy for God
