== | ==Writing system for Non-Human species== | ||
A project by Fernanda Caicedo | |||
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. | |||

Known as the "many-headed slime" is a protist organism that lives in dark and humid places and outdoors feeds on bacteria and fungi. | Known as the "many-headed slime" is a protist organism that lives in dark and humid places and outdoors feeds on bacteria and fungi. | ||

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?

===Conclusion=== | |||
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.

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.

This is the method I found wich would allow me to develop basic symbols of lenguaje. | This is the method I found wich would allow me to develop basic symbols of lenguaje. |
