Due to this property its computational abilities have become widely researched since the beginning of the 21st century. My initial studies were developed with SharpMatter and are based on Jeff Jones book “From Pattern Formation to Material Computation. Multi-Agent Modelling of Physarum Polycephalum ”. Specifically from chapter 3 -3.3. For a brief overview you can look at <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1162/art1.2010.16.2.16202">http://dx.doi.org/10.1162/art1.2010.16.2.16202</a><br /> Each particle like agent is encoded with very simple rules of behaviour. The agents communicate and interact with each other through a “pheromone value” in the environment. Each agent can receive and modify the local values of the chemical through their 3 different sensors. Diffusion then helps to propagate the chemoattractant values through the environment. Depending on how each agent reads its environment different collective patterns emerge over time. The patterns formed are most of the times dynamic and adaptive to changing environmental conditions.<br /> My further goal through this research is to be able to generate a tool which can be used for solving design problems. emergent_patterns_point tag:www.grasshopper3d.com,2009-11-04:2985220:Video:28587 2009-11-04T14:54:08.734Z Vittorio Menna https://www.grasshopper3d.com/profile/VittorioMenna <a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/emergentpatternspoint-1"><br /> <img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2778151327?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=240" width="240" height="240" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />Beautiful and complex patterns emerge from a uniform grid, whose points are progressively culled out using a simple rule and a "trick" <a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/emergentpatternspoint-1"><br /> <img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2778151327?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=240" width="240" height="240" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />Beautiful and complex patterns emerge from a uniform grid, whose points are progressively culled out using a simple rule and a "trick" emergent_patterns_3 tag:www.grasshopper3d.com,2009-10-27:2985220:Video:27151 2009-10-27T11:21:19.368Z Vittorio Menna https://www.grasshopper3d.com/profile/VittorioMenna <a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/emergentpatterns3-1"><br /> <img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2778151693?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=240" width="240" height="240" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />Beautiful and complex patterns emerge from a uniform grid, whose points are progressively culled out using a simple rule and a "trick" <a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/emergentpatterns3-1"><br /> <img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2778151693?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=240" width="240" height="240" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />Beautiful and complex patterns emerge from a uniform grid, whose points are progressively culled out using a simple rule and a "trick" emergent_patterns_2 tag:www.grasshopper3d.com,2009-10-27:2985220:Video:27078 2009-10-27T01:29:05.833Z Vittorio Menna https://www.grasshopper3d.com/profile/VittorioMenna <a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/emergentpatterns2-1"><br /> <img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2778154254?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=132" width="240" height="132" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />Beautiful and complex patterns emerge from a uniform grid, whose points are progressively culled out using a simple rule and a "trick" <a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/emergentpatterns2-1"><br /> <img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2778154254?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=132" width="240" height="132" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />Beautiful and complex patterns emerge from a uniform grid, whose points are progressively culled out using a simple rule and a "trick" emergent_patterns_1 tag:www.grasshopper3d.com,2009-10-27:2985220:Video:27076 2009-10-27T01:28:33.190Z Vittorio Menna https://www.grasshopper3d.com/profile/VittorioMenna <a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/emergentpatterns1-1"><br /> <img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2778152805?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=132" width="240" height="132" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />Beautiful and complex patterns emerge from a uniform grid, whose points are progressively culled out using a simple rule and a "trick" <a href="https://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/emergentpatterns1-1"><br /> <img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2778152805?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=132" width="240" height="132" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />Beautiful and complex patterns emerge from a uniform grid, whose points are progressively culled out using a simple rule and a "trick"
