Finalmente descobrimos como substituir os incompetentes políticos profissionais e o pessoal do ordenamento do território na planificação da rede ferroviária nacional (que na verdade nunca o foi) por alguém que realmente e com uma certeza quase a absoluta fará um melhor trabalho: Um amebóide do reino dos Protistas de seu nome Physarum polycephalum! Sim, quem nos governa nem gente é pois são tão acéfalos que um ser protista tem mais sentido de planeamento do que quem nos governa! Duvidam? ora vejam: "Transport networks are ubiquitous in both social and biological systems. Robust network performance involves a complex trade-off involving cost, transport efficiency, and fault tolerance. Biological networks have been honed by many cycles of evolutionary selection pressure and are likely to yield reasonable solutions to such combinatorial optimization problems. Furthermore, they develop without centralized control and may represent a readily scalable solution for growing networks in general. We show that the slime mold Physarum polycephalum forms networks with comparable efficiency, fault tolerance, and cost to those of real-world infrastructure networks—in this case, the Tokyo rail system. The core mechanisms needed for adaptive network formation can be captured in a biologically inspired mathematical model that may be useful to guide network construction in other domains."
