Outline of Final Research Achievements

We searched for common algorithm of problem-solving and information processing that may be shared by a range of species from single-celled organisms to higher animals, by describing the physical equations of motion for behavioral intelligence demonstrated in single-cell level. We threw light on protozoa like slime mold amoeba and ciliates as a model organism, and obtained the results on network optimization, learning behavior and primitive decision-making. On the network optimization, a common algorithm of use-and-growth rule was indicated in a range of functional morphogenesis from transport network in slime mold to mechanical structure of bone in higher animals, and geographical pattern of cities and roads in human society.
