# Physarum network

Visual style (Techniques)
Source: https://visual-gallery.asami.tokyo/en/styles/physarum-network

A web of thick veins and fine branches, like a slime mould linking food sources by near-shortest paths.

## Palette
- #06070B Obsidian (~74%)
- #F4BE52 Gold (~12%)
- #2FC7B8 Teal (~9%)
- #E04BB0 Magenta (~5%)

## Visual traits
- Bright nodes (food sources) are joined by thick, slightly wavy veins along near-shortest paths
- Around the main veins, many thin branching filaments spread like capillaries and fade out
- Vein thickness follows how much flow it carries; loops and redundant paths remain
- Glowing lines and particles are drawn with additive blending on a near-black background, so overlaps get brighter and bloom
- In motion, pulses travel along the veins and filaments slowly extend

## Prompt
Physarum network: bright food-source nodes joined by thick, slightly wavy glowing gold veins along near-shortest paths, surrounded by many thin teal branching filaments that fade like capillaries, vein thickness following flow, with a few loops, on a near-black background with additive blending. As video, pulses travel along the veins.
