Abstract: Our research is focused on creation of a new object-oriented programming language for Physarum polycephalum computing. Physarum polycephalum is a one-cell organism that can be used for developing a biological architecture of different abstract devices, among others, the digital ones. In the paper, we use an abstract graphical language in the form of Petri nets to describe the Physarum polycephalum behavior. Petri nets are a good formalism to assist designers and support hardware design tools, especially in developing concurrent systems. At the beginning stage considered in this paper, we show how to build Petri net models, and next implement them as Physarum polycephalum machines, of basic logic gates AND, OR, NOT, and simple combinational circuits on the example of the 1-to-2 demultiplexer.
