SINGLE BRANCHING SYSTEM – APPROACH 01
PERFORMANCE SINGLE BRANCHING SYSTEM _SHORTEST WALK
Within an environment mimicking soil conditions, the organism’s spore point discerns optimal targets such as moisture, nutrients, light, and temperature.
Through this sensory acumen, it orchestrates a harmonious growth pattern, meticulously crafting the shortest pathway towards these targets.
In this portrayal, the organism’s innate ability to sense and respond to environmental cues fosters a seamless and efficient growth process.
NEIGHBOUR SENSING SYSTEM – APPROACH 02
PERFORMANCE NEIGHBOUR SENSING SYSTEM _SPACE COLONISATION
In an environment simulating soil conditions, the organism’s spore point strategically identifies prime targets encompassing moisture, nutrients, light, and temperature from a matrix of potential growth points. This discernment process unfolds gradually, with the spore point perpetually attuned to the nearest point housing the ideal conditions for growth.
As the organism progresses, its growth pattern unfolds with precision, gradually expanding to occupy space in a manner that ensures all essential targets are met. Over time, this orchestrated growth strategy leads to the comprehensive fulfilment of ideal conditions as the organism extends its presence within the environment.
