<p>Hi</p>
<p>One of the things they rarely mention in papers on computation with physarum is how often it doesn't work - about a quarter will not do as intended by going the wrong way, crossing a barrier or just sitting there. If you give them a blank canvas so to speak they'll wander off in an apparently random directions - is it really random or is it following some subtle gradient we don't know is there though? </p>
