Figure 3. Distant chemotaxis algorithm. 3.1. Organism shown in
center of an area of the lattice, each value indicates the amount of resource
present at each node. The box indicates the area within which a waterborne
signal can be directly detected. Numbered nodes are within the "detection range"
of the organism.
3.2. Sources of summed chemical signal at location "northwest" of
organism, assuming no net current direction. Thickness of arrows represents
attenuation with distance D.
3.3. Signal at each location at which the waterborne signal is detected;
assuming 1/D2 attenuation. Organism moves in the direction of the
greatest signal ("northeast").
