Given simple rules, automata can produce complex emergent patterns. In this example, I assigned a weight function to each automaton that computes the optimal next position based on the distance to other automata and nearby &ldquo;fuel&rdquo; locations. Combined with Voronoi-style noise rules, this creates emergent biological patterns reminiscent of fungi and slime mold structures.</p>
