CLAIM (refuted): Physarum holds its body-wide memory 'aloft' via a single, globally phase-locked STANDING WAVE that keeps the imprint statically fixed.

⛔ REFUTED — kept on record; see the refuting edge. Not deleted.

Grade E3 · state: refuted · id: IB-physarum-standingwave-refuted

Quantities: refuted 0-3 in the only directly-testable system

Primary source

Alim et al. 2013, PNAS — random-network peristalsis (measured the real, non-global dynamics)

Edges (outgoing)

• relates → In Physarum a stimulus self-propagates ADVECTIVELY on the cytoplasmic — what actually holds the pattern is organized advective re-broadcast, not a fixed standing wave

Incoming edges (what points here)

• In Physarum a stimulus self-propagates ADVECTIVELY on the cytoplasmic — relates → this (the real mechanism is organized advective flow, not a static global lock)
• In the only directly-testable system (Physarum), body-wide contraction — refutes → this (measured intermittency contradicts a permanently phase-locked global wave)
