About

A simulation of Physarum polycephalum — a single-celled organism that forages by extending a network of veins, reinforcing efficient paths while forgotten routes atrophy.

20,000 agents (flâneurs) wander through a circular field, leaving a trail behind them. Each senses the faint signal ahead and is pulled towards stronger currents. Desire paths are carved out in the field, as forgotten routes slowly fade.

The network emerges entirely from local rules.
