Thank you!
Basically a slime mold map is simulating a blob that forms a network of centers and bridges based on the location of "food", and supposedly in the process demonstrates the most efficient network of transportation between those locations.
Its applications for public transit were realized when trying it out with an actual slime mold revealed a map very similar to the actual layout of the Tokyo metro system, hence the name.
So the theory is that you can simulate transit stations by putting "food" at those locations and the slime mold simulation will organically draw a map of an efficient transit network for you because it's a stretchy little slime that just wants food.
Super interesting stuff thanks for sharing.
