I wish somebody designed a board game to make people understand that life is positive-sum; that the downside of most moves is never really as steep as it seems; that the upside can be unbounded; and that the best thing one can do is make as many moves as possible.

Antero Alli, Robert Anton Wilson (Introduction)
A slime mold has a dual nature and provides a striking metaphor for the dual or multiple descriptions of nature. On the one hand, since the colony is composed of independent individuals, its description should be close to a causal, reductionist one. On the other, it is a single, cohesive body which demands a holistic, global description. The slime mold therefore shows how collectivity and individuality, holistic and reductionist aspects can exist within the same system.
