@interphx (Twitter)@finalfire Thanks! In short, each agent (particle) leaves a trail of "pheromones" and steers towards high-pheromone areas unoccupied by other agents. This results in a network-like pattern. There is an excellent paper describing the process in more detail: https://t.co/DcKX8fJcTK

Abstract Synopsis
- The study explores how simple agent-based models, inspired by the slime mold Physarum polycephalum, can spontaneously form complex, dynamic transport networks through local behaviors like chemotaxis.
- Different pattern types, including spots, labyrinths, and bifurcating networks, can be generated by adjusting basic parameters, showcasing how complex behaviors emerge without complex rules or hierarchical mechanisms.
- The findings suggest that these emergent patterns mimic natural biological systems and could be used for unconventional computation by harnessing pattern formation processes for spatial information processing.
