Actually looks like the neurons of a brain. Or a sea... Or the same way mold spreads in Japan :) http://ohsnapson.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/biomimicry-or-why-slime-mold-is-smarter-than-you/ Talented and dedicated engineers spent countless hours designing Japan’s rail system to be one of the world’s most efficient. Could have just asked a slime mold. When presented with oat flakes arranged in the pattern of Japanese cities around Tokyo, brainless, single-celled slime molds construct networks of nutrient-channeling tubes that are strikingly similar to the layout of the Japanese rail system…

Yeah, I loved that slime mold article. Saw a different version here: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/13/opinion/sunday/the-wisdom-of-slime.html?_r=2Makes me think that there are some really basic algorithms underlying apparently complex behavior. As with fractals, neural nets, or the game of life. We are apparently verrry slowly discovering ways to make use of nature's laws to solve problems that otherwise require brute force analysis and computation. Wondering if slime molds can beat the stock market...hmm...

I've thought of the slime mold theory that we are organisms that follow certain patterns overall subconsciously and primitively. To survive, thrive, consume etc. We fall into these patterns that can be predictable. Mathematically predictable and that is where I think the 11:11 phenomenon and synchronicities come into play. Somehow it is related, I'm positive of it.
