i personally belive its not because nature is smart but because nature is simple and innocent, it decides the easiest method to get from a to b in this case and doesnt waste time deciding that it wants to develop a quicker but harder way to get there like flying, because flying isnt its stregnth even though it has an advantage over crawling (or whatever you would call what it did) it just does what it can do, not what it wished it could do. this is just my opinion, different strokes...
Nature isn't just smart. it's hella smart because it's created by a race of superhumans in a far far past. Look at our body, it's amazing and everything works perfectly(sometimes) for hundred years! what i mean first is ( wha i think) is that when we evolve so much that we create our OWN planets and humans. also an individual dimension of nature. any1 agreee?
This is not a mathematical model. It is an analog computer. I wonder how they would represent obstacles, such as mountains or rivers. Or how to tell the mold that a route it wants to choose is available, but more costly than a nearby round-about one. That would be useful.
c'mon, they built the railway system based on the type of soil as well, something that cannot be compared to the mold that's just reaching the food sources with the shortest distance they can find...
@anjingtaiasu volume, direction, and frequency of traffic is what they use to design rail systems... so if food sources are placed so that they correspond to popular destinations for day-to-day traffic, and the dish is shaped like the landmass, the veins the mold develops would closely resemble the most effective routes for a mass-transit system.... and that is precisely what this video shows
with the right resources, there are very few soil types that you can't build a rail system through
slime mold isn't a fungus it's a protist
