City lights photographed from the International Space Station and Neurons imaged with fluorescence microscopy.

We can explore this at another level by remembering our old friend slime mold (see my previous slimy posts here), which give us reason to believe that some of the branching patterns and efficient pathways of connecting complex systems are sort of, well, inherent in nature.

It’s equal parts “amazing” and “not at all surprising” to find them here in neurons and cities, no?
