Nature Solved It First

Single-celled organisms possess biological algorithms capable of outperforming human engineers in urban planning. By mapping nutrient transport, Physarum polycephalum recreated Tokyo’s efficient subway layout in mere hours. This biological efficiency now guides the future of self-repairing transportation and communication grids, proving intelligence does not require a central nervous system.
