The cellular slime mold is an emergent organism which opportunistically transforms its organization (from one to many) and behavior (from animal to plant) depending on environmental conditions. Its cycle of distribution and convergence is not driven by top-down intention, but rather by dumb material connectivity by way of a chemoattractant. The emergent pattern of the slime mold in its aggregation phase is seen on the right. It is a Deleuzian ‚body-without-organs‘ par excellance. www.zi.biologie.uni-muenchen.de
