“.. plasmodium is unique biological substrate that mimics universal storage modification machines, namely the Kolmogorov-Uspensky machine. In the plasmodium implementation of the storage modification machine data are represented by sources of nutrients and memory structure by protoplasmic tubes connecting the sources. In laboratory experiments and simulation we demonstrate how the plasmodium-based storage modification machine can be programmed.”(Adamatzky & Jones 2009) | “.. plasmodium is unique biological substrate that mimics universal storage modification machines, namely the Kolmogorov-Uspensky machine.

“Examples of obstacle-avoiding shortest paths computed by Physarum can be found in almost any chapter of the book, e.g. plasmodium propagates towards oat flakes and avoids salty areas of agar” (Adamatzky 2010) | |||
