Interested in living computation, microbial evolution and game theory.
If you ever post/publish about that, I'll be eager to read it!

Very interesting!
Do you think this framework could be tweaked to work for ants–pheromones too? As they've also been shown to "solve" the shortest path problem in a "ring", at least in laboratory conditions.

Love that the preprint for that is already online!!

Just finished reading this and prefect timing, another cool Physarum preprint just went live. You may find it interesting:

Cognition as least action: the Physarum Lagrangian
The slime mould Physarum polycephalum displays adaptive transport dynamics and network formation that have inspired its use as a model of biological computation. We develop a Lagrangian formulation of...
