Robust and emergent Physarum logical-computing.
There have been many attempts for realization of emergent computing, but the notion of emergent computing is still ambiguous. In an open system, emergence and an error cannot be specified distinctly, because they are dependent on the dis-equilibration process between local and global behaviors. To manifest such an aspect, we implement a Boolean gate as a biological device made of slime mold Phy...
متن کاملLogical Modelling of Physarum Polycephalum
In the paper we proposed a novel model of unconventional computing where a structural part of computation is presented by dynamics of Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum, a large single cell. We sketch a new logical approach combining conventional logic with process calculus to demonstrate how to employ formal methods in design of unconventional computing media presented by Physarum polycephalu...
متن کاملPlant hairy root cultures as plasmodium modulators of the slime mold emergent computing substrate Physarum polycephalum
Roots of the medicinal plant Valeriana officinalis are well-studied for their various biological activities. We applied genetically transformed V. officinalis root biomass to exert control of Physarum polycephalum, an amoeba-based emergent computing substrate. The plasmodial stage of the P. polycephalum life cycle constitutes a single, multinucleate cell visible by unaided eye. The plasmodium m...
متن کاملWhat’s Emergent in Emergent Computing?
Emergent Computing (EC) has become a widespread concept in computer science, particularly in AI und A-Life. In this paper, the relation of EC to the philosophy of emergentism, as developed by Alexander, Broad, Morgan and used in modern theories of self-organisation, is discussed using examples from the theory of cellular automata. Additionally, fundamental issues of emergentism and (in-)determi...
متن کاملTowards Physarum robots: computing and manipulating on water surface
Plasmodium of Physarym polycephalum is an ideal biological substrate for implementing concurrent and parallel computation, including combinatorial geometry and optimization on graphs. We report results of scoping experiments on Physarum computing in conditions of minimal friction, on the water surface. We show that plasmodium of Physarum is capable for computing a basic spanning trees and manip...
