Physarum is a kind of fungus found in nature, that has some very interesting capabilities. the concept is rather straightforward. Every particle leaves a trail of  feromones which decrease in intensity and get dissipated over time. all particles sample their surrounding: left, infront and to the right of them. Depending on the amount of found feromones, they decide the direction for their next step. This leads to Emergence of interesting formations.

What you are seeing above is an implementation of this concept, in touchdesigner, and glsl. 
(sadly the bitrate cant handle it)
