The mold “operates” in roughly two modes: exploring and exploiting. It explores to find the food and then it exploits the best paths to the food to consume it.
I feel our minds work in a similar way, we explore when learning new stuff and then we exploit when using what we learned to accomplish something.
Probably most of the work that majority of people do is mostly exploiting previously learned stuff, with some limited exploration sprinkled into it every now and then.
