i mean wires with a unit at one end that takes multiple charges and neurotransmitter chemicals and only releases a charge if there is a high enough charge going in and an organelle at the other end of the wire to transmit neurotransmitters. just like a regular brain cell except proteins and wires and organelles
no the daughter cell would likely not get the mother cell’s memories as that would require a pressure to encode the memories into nuclei or smaller packages and would likely be created by budding or eukaryotic conjugation being used as a gene transfer method to enable sexual reproduction
Okay, but what mechanism would do that? What protein equivalent would work? And how would this be any more efficient than multicellular brains? What would this brain even be used for? Single celled organisms behave intelligently enough to survive. Also, what would these wire be made of? What is creating current?
a dendrite organelle that accepts multiple inputs from axon like organelles that use a wire to transmit electricity and releases different chemicals based on the strength of the signal then the dendritic organelle sends a signal of the combined strengths of all it’s inputs
a protein casing around a wire connecting two cell organelles
faster reaction time, smaller neurons, less calcium intake required, faster processing time, signal speed is just under a third of the speed of light given there isn’t anything stopping the electricity, faster max speed.
not if they want to be large unicellular animals
copper, silver, lead, iron, literally any other highly conductive metal, carbon nanotubes.
That doesn’t answer my first question, and animals, by definition, cannot be unicellular. Also, macroscopic unicellular organisms on Earth live perfectly fine without “brains”.
Another thing, the game will never get finished if the devs implement every possible edge case for how life could develop, and the game would be boring and overcomplicated.
i meant a protein tube containing a wire and that organelle connects a dendrite type organelle and an axon end type organelle.
unicellular mobile organisms cannot exist at sizes bigger than chaos carolensis’ record of 5mm easily and efficiently as they do not have a small enough size to use flagella and they are just a bit under the max efficient size for a chemical nervous system but for a unicellular human size creature there will need to be a nervous system using electricity or ions
they can if you give them a protein that just breaks down the ATP and puts the energy into a tube that moves it and the protein only activates when given a strong enough signal
more playstyles does not equal overcomplication
they don’t need to individually implement each one the edge cases only need their required compounds and proteins implemented or a compound and protein editor and any living organelles would be endosymbiotic and therefore not need to be implemented individually and you could just make an endosymbiont by eating it
