🧫 Slime Mold Network — Physarum Agent Simulation

Thousands of simple agents sense and deposit pheromone trails on a shared field, and the colony self-organizes into an efficient transport network linking food sources — the same emergent rule set real Physarum polycephalum uses to solve mazes and approximate optimal networks. Tune agent count, sensor angle and distance, trail decay and deposit rate to watch the network topology reshape in real time.
