Bio-Inspired Game Theory: The Case of Physarum Polycephalum

Go Games on Plasmodia of Physarum Polycephalum

“…This system is called the performative syllogistic. [14]. They try to occupy free attractants antagonistically.…”

“…In the performative syllogistic we have the following axioms: (12) ; SeP SaP  (13) ; PaS SaP  (14) ; PiS SiP  (15) ; SeP SaM  (16) ; SeP MaP  (17) ; ) ( SaP SaM MaP   (18) .…”

“…The behavior of plasmodia is very sensitive and intelligent [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [15], [17], [18], [19]. This behavior can be represented as a bio-inspired game theory on plasmodia [14], i.e. an experimental game theory, where, on the one hand, all basic definitions are verified in the experiments with Physarum polycephalum and Badhamia utricularis and, on the other hand, all basic algorithms are implemented in the object-oriented language for simulations of plasmodia [13].…”

PhysarumSoft - a Software Tool for Programming Physarum Machines and Simulating Physarum Games

“…Fundamental topics of the research area related to bio-inspired games on Physarum machines were earlier considered, for example in [2] and [9]. Simulating Physarum games is considered in Section III.…”

“…In the considered case, the term of Physarum machine covers, in general, a hybrid device implemented in two plasmodia (cf. [2]), namely the plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum as well as the plasmodium of Badhamia utricularis. Badhamia utricularis is also the species of order Physarales.…”
