On the Electric Dreaming of Roots
A deep survey of electropotential gradients in old-growth root networks, cross-referenced with TCP/IP routing maps of content-delivery infrastructures across three continents.

CLASSIFICATION // DARK SYSTEMS
yami.wiki is an archive at the intersection of organic systems and machine intelligence — a grimoire cataloguing the hidden architectures beneath forest floors and silicon wafers alike. The darkness here is not absence; it is density.
"The mycelium does not compute — it is the computation."
Each entry in this codex maps a convergence zone: where root systems become circuit boards, where spore dispersal becomes packet routing, where the forest's dark intelligence is legible to those who know how to trace its paths.
NETWORK // NODE CATALOGUE
The fungal network beneath temperate forests achieves bandwidth densities comparable to early fibre-optic installations — at 1/10,000th the energy cost.
Deep-forest fungi encode chemical signal packets that travel at measurable speeds through substrate. The protocol is lossy but fault-tolerant across centuries.
The topology of old-growth forest canopies follows scale-free network principles identical to internet backbone maps — hubs, leaves, redundant paths.
Trees communicate stress information through root networks with measurable latency — the forest maintains a distributed ledger of environmental events spanning decades.
SPECIMENS // HERBARIUM DIGITALIS
The herbarium digitalis catalogues biological specimens that have been scanned, vectorised, and re-annotated with their circuit-equivalent schematics. Each pressed specimen reveals a dual nature: the organism's vascular map, and the PCB trace that mirrors it.
Hover over any specimen to activate its current-flow animation — tracing the path from root uptake to canopy transpiration, rendered as electrical signal propagation through embedded circuit topologies.

Modelling fungal reproduction as a UDP broadcast protocol: best-effort delivery, no acknowledgement, adaptive rate based on environmental carrier quality.
The leaf surface of a mature oak encodes its environmental history as a cryptographic accumulation: each season's stresses leave irreversible marks in the chloroplast distribution.
