3-Dimensional Path Finding
I'm curious, what is known about physarum's ability to find three dimensional paths? I ask because I have observed an interesting behavior in my slime cultures on two occasions over the last few weeks. I have been keeping my slimes in disposable food containers which have tapered sides and are approximately 4cm deep. Sometimes, when I change their bedding, the culture will explore the sides and the lid before moving on to the new paper. (I have been using construction/sugar paper as my primary…See More
