The Scatter Spot

sr_021_nl.jpg

October 1st, 2025

I came back to what I'm now calling the scatter spot. I'm a little awestruck on how large the hive has grown over two weeks.  It’s evolved past the original heat nodes and expanded to incorporate dynein and kinesin motors or as I like to call them snakes. They move material around the hive trying to evenly distribute the hives mass. The rules that govern their operation is based on a formula found in a video game titled The Game Of Life. The rules are simple, If a node is by itself it will soon die, if it's surrounded by 3 additional nodes it will thrive and if it's tightly surrounded by 5 or more it will die. Ideally, the snakes aim to have the second option as much as possible.
