Social infrastructure networks, essential for daily life and economic activities, encompass utilities such as water, electricity, roads, and telecommunications. Dynamic remodeling of these systems is crucial for responding to continuous changes, unexpected events, and increased demand. This study proposes a new dynamic remodeling model inspired by biological mechanisms, focusing on a model based on the chemotaxis of slime molds.

The excitable cells of Dictyostelium discoideum show traveling waves of signaling and generate a variety of complex wave forms during their morphogenesis. Important among these wave forms is the 3D spiral or scroll wave, which has been proposed previously to have a twisted variant: the "turbine wave." Herein we argue that a D.
