==Writing system for Non-Human species== | |||
by Fernanda Caicedo | |||
{{#ev:youtube|ML79KWkYNbM}} | |||
I propose a cooperative work between two organisms - Human and Physarum polycephalum - with the purpose of building a metaphor about coexistence, social skills and proximity of behavior between two beings of opposite natures but with similar social capacities. | |||
While there is life there will be interaction and within it there will be communication and language. | |||
Two species, completely different from each other, collaborating together and creating a "Survival/Language" action. | |||

Physarum polycephalum conceive the essence of improvisation for survival. It spreads, seeks for food and in every steep recognise it self with the intention of prevail. Physarum is a millions of nuclei organism, all sharing a cell wall, all operating as a single entity. The particularly way that Physarum grows also respond to a repetitive call-response pattern. They go two steeps forward and one backwards, then two forwards and one backwards and so on... They talk to each order und response, then grow... | Physarum polycephalum conceive the essence of improvisation for survival.

===Writing system for Non-Human species=== | |||
In the history of the world, the phenomenon of writing arises when the spoken form reaches such prestige that it needs to take a physical form. Its function is the perpetuity of a message over time. | In the history of the world, the phenomenon of writing arises when the spoken form reaches such prestige that it needs to take a physical form.

But what about writing lenguaje? What happens if human facilitates this system to other species, or some king of symbolic system? How does it look, how would that work? | But what about writing lenguaje? What happens if human facilitates this system to other species, or some king of symbolic system?

Like so much other things in the natural world, human lenguaje evolved, didn't just arises. | Like so much other things in the natural world, human lenguaje evolved, didn't just arises. | ||

It has been proved that there is a way of interaction between non-human species that allow them to reach goals, feed, pair or survived either through sounds, waves, chemical reactions or bodily excretion. But not any species aside from Humans had developed a symbolic language capable of prevail and transform. | It has been proved that there is a way of interaction between non-human species that allow them to reach goals, feed, pair or survived either through sounds, waves, chemical reactions or bodily excretion.

Physarum, unlike Human, its a primitive organism, but nevertheless it performs in such an organized and clever way on searching for the food with the bests nutrients. That's how Physarum manages to survive. | Physarum, unlike Human, its a primitive organism, but nevertheless it performs in such an organized and clever way on searching for the food with the bests nutrients.

==Process== | |||
First I need a strong and healthy Slime mold to start with. It is necessary to keep growing Physarum using the usual method (Agar+Oat flakes) so that samples of Physarum are always available for developing the experiment. | First I need a strong and healthy Slime mold to start with.

===Experiments=== | |||
I developed some experiments for Physarum whose main axis is the action of survival from the human point of view. These experiments would allow me to understand the social nature of the organism, compare realities, forms of behavior and our proximity as species. | I developed some experiments for Physarum whose main axis is the action of survival from the human point of view.

I place some healthy Physarum on two petri dishes. One with enough food source and the other one without any. After making Time Lapse recordings of the behaviour I got to recognise some interesting aspects¡ | |||

In both cases Physarum creates a basic structure of movement. With or without Food source, Physarum expands, recognise and search in the same way: | In both cases Physarum creates a basic structure of movement.

'''ASPECT Nr.2''' | |||
While expanding in search of food, Physarum was able to recognize that in the vicinity there was a group of cells with difficulties in finding food. I observed that Physarum was regrouping side to side and sensing this problem, so I brought the dishes to each other and observed how Physarum creates a Bridge in order to share nutrients and survive. | While expanding in search of food, Physarum was able to recognize that in the vicinity there was a group of cells with difficulties in finding food.

Live versus decease | |||
I placed some dried Physarum (wich represents a state of inactivity. In Humans represents loss of life. In the nature of Physarum the biological functions stoppt until the environment is suitable for existence) next to some healthy Physarum and record the behaviour on Time lapse. | I placed some dried Physarum (wich represents a state of inactivity.

The experiment shows how Physarum shares capacities with the ¨non living¨ cells and in this way conforms a unite front in search for food sources. | The experiment shows how Physarum shares capacities with the ¨non living¨ cells and in this way conforms a unite front in search for food sources. | ||
