This started with playing with the weird way that light is transported in these simulations. Rather than two beams passing through one-another, they splash on contact since they can only have a unique velocity at each cell. Emissive red material is deposited where things have passed and indicates the 'Physarum-like' term which drives things into tendrils and lines. Ultimately the organization of the system into churning red tangles takes over the overall effect. / @ngutten
