Brainless Genius
Did you know that a single-celled organism with no brain or nervous system has perfectly replicated Tokyo's subway map? 'Slime mold,' a type of organism, has the characteristic of finding and connecting the most efficient shortest paths when searching for food. When researchers placed food at various city locations around Tokyo and cultivated slime mold, it created a network that almost perfectly matched the Tokyo subway system designed by humans over decades. This demonstrates the remarkable optimization ability of a simple mass of cells to solve complex urban engineering problems. It's an interesting fact showing that life forms possess perfect efficiency algorithms even without a centralized brain.

Perhaps the complex mechanism of the brain can obscure the essence. The fundamental wisdom of life is truly wondrous.

Instinctively, that phenomenon spreads in all directions, but it seems to disappear like branching off outside the optimal route, which is why it looks like that.
