Basic features of the plasmodium foraging behavior are interpreted in terms of process calculus and spatial logic and it is shown that this behavior could be regarded as one of the natural implementations of spatial logic without modal operators.

Abstract

Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a large single cell capable for distributed sensing, information processing, decentralized decision-making and collective action. In the paper, we interpret basic features of the plasmodium foraging behavior in terms of process calculus and spatial logic and show that this behavior could be regarded as one of the natural implementations of spatial logic without modal operators.
