# Slime Mold Network: motion graphics style

> Thousands of tiny agents follow each other's scent trails into a glowing vein network, then find food hidden in the letters and engulf it as a golden sheet. A living, organic look for biotech, science and nature brands.

## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Simulate a slime mold that spells the word [TEXT]. Thousands of tiny agents each sense a scent trail just ahead to the left, center and right, turn toward the strongest, step forward and deposit more scent, while the trail map slowly blurs and evaporates; together they self-organize into a glowing, constantly re-routing network of veins. After a moment, food appears hidden inside the letterforms of [TEXT] in a rounded heavy sans: wherever a vein touches a letter, a mottled golden sheet of slime creeps out and engulfs it until the word glows solid out of the web, still connected to the network around it. Color trails golden yellow turning white-hot where densest, on a dark mossy background. Then the food fades and the word melts back into wandering veins.
```

## Visual DNA

- Over four thousand sensing agents leave, follow and reinforce scent trails
- Self-organizing vein network that branches, merges and re-routes
- Letters act as food: once touched, a golden sheet creeps over them
- Golden-yellow trails glowing white-hot where densest, on dark moss
- Food fades, the word melts back into the wandering network
