Simulating Plant Communication
Plants communicate with one another through complex systems such as electrical signals and the mycorrhizal network. The "Wood Wide Web", or Mycorrhizal network, involves fungi connecting plant roots, allowing for nutrient exchange and signaling. Electrical impulses assist in transmitting information about environmental conditions or hazards, much like the nervous system of a plant.
We have developed a concept to detect electrical signals between plants, displaying their interactions as heatmaps and translating these signals into an understandable language using symbols. As plants interact, the heatmaps expand significantly, facilitating human comprehension of plant communication. The language on this heatmap is then systematized, changing from colors to symbols.
