Homunculus Experiment Record: Microbial Colonies and Division-Aggregation Hypothesis

This article is a personal experiment record examining a homunculus-related test, a special liquid, microscope observations, the possibility of microbial colonies, and the patterns of division and aggregation.
The first thing I confirmed through this unusual experiment was the smell.
As expected, the initial odor was strong. Fortunately, compared to the egg that had been stored for over a year, it was still tolerable. I could understand, to some extent, why Korney from the Как Сделать ... channel staged himself wearing a gas mask.
In the YouTube video uploaded this time, there is a sudden jump cut after the microscope observation. That happened because the battery died during filming. The footage where I had originally checked the eggshell in detail was not saved, and I only realized this during editing, after I had already disposed of the sample.
Fortunately, if one can call it fortunate, there was nothing particularly unusual when I checked it at the time.
As for the next experimental method, I will briefly reveal that I plan to proceed in two directions.
The reason I had insisted on only one existing method was that I was considering the issue of food waste. That does not mean I need to use an entire carton of eggs right away.
Thanks to the time I had spent away from the experiment, I was able to find several clues that may help with the investigation.
The first question is whether a fresh egg can act as a medium.
There is a high possibility that it may not matter much. However, if the structure itself is to appear as a mass close to a form of manifestation, it cannot realistically be ruled out that the influence of the medium may appear specifically only in a fresh egg.
What needs to be confirmed immediately is whether this liquid can amplify the medium. If even a slight manifestation occurs using this liquid, then the direction I had considered from the very beginning will become somewhat clearer.
To be honest, I did not expect anything to appear in the experiment I conducted on the 25th.
However, there was something shaped like a black water flea.
At first glance, I thought it was simply a peculiar mass of microorganisms. I should have placed the cover glass on it very gently and handled it with the utmost care, but as can be seen in the video, I ended up pressing it down.
With a small popping sound, it was crushed. Under the microscope, the result gave me the impression of a crushed corpse. At that moment, I felt a strange sense of guilt.
But I still do not know whether it was alive or not. It seemed as though it may have moved slightly. Surely, it could not have been a part of what is known as a homunculus.
One puzzling point was that, in this experiment, I did not find microorganisms that looked cellular or primitive in nature.
If so, the structure that had previously existed in the water can be interpreted in one way. It was likely a microbial structure that emerged due to exposure to the air.
Considering that no cell-like composition appeared, the form that moved twice from side to side was more likely moved by buoyancy caused by internal gas or an air pocket. A movement that might take days outside the water could, in water, appear like a Dementor through even the slightest vibration.
As I mentioned before, at the time, the sense of unease was so strong that I nearly gagged. It may have been an error in which my brain misjudged what I was seeing.
I tried to take out and observe another hard black object from the existing reagent bottle, but once again, it had disappeared.
However, as I have already said, what I am focusing on is division and aggregation. These phenomena can commonly be observed in nature. In fact, when looking at this flow, it is difficult to explain it as simple fabrication.
Then, is it possible for a microbial colony to move slowly?
Strictly speaking, it is difficult to say that a microbial colony moves with intention like a single organism. However, that does not mean the possibility is entirely absent. A colony uses its surrounding environment, repeatedly going through decomposition, absorption, excretion, division, and aggregation. In that process, it can sometimes create forms that appear as though a single structure is being built.
I would like to compare this to a microbial colony building a small spaceship.
Individual microorganisms are extremely small and weak. However, when they gather, they can use the surrounding environment to form a structure that appears like a single colony. If the conditions are quickly met in a dark place, it may take at least two to three days, usually around seven days, and in slower cases, up to about two weeks.
A colony does not end as a single structure. It continues to build structures and maintain its form with a certain firmness. Then, when the environment changes, it disappears as if it had never been there at all.
Previously, I gave an example involving eukaryotic organisms.
Do you remember the videos of strange lifeforms found near beaches or inside sewers that once set the internet on fire?
At the time, they appeared to be unidentified strange creatures. However, they were later identified as colony-like structures formed by clusters of tubifex worms.
In addition, some strange colony-like forms found on beaches or near bodies of water have been identified as structures made by small organisms gathering together, such as bryozoans or colonial tunicates.
And here, I would like to give one more example.
Mushrooms.
Mushrooms have an astonishing growth speed. They can produce a visible fruiting body in just a single night. However, the preparation period behind that is quite long. In the soil and surrounding environment, a space made of mycelium has already been prepared, and that preparation period is deeply connected to the rainy season.
Mushrooms use surrounding trees and plants, raindrops, humidity, and wind conditions to spread their spores more widely and expand.
Why were they made that way?
Does a mere mass of mycelium have something like thought?
Of course, nothing has been confirmed.
However, rather than consciousness or intention, it is probably closer to a survival strategy of the natural ecosystem, one that has adapted to the environment in many different ways.
As mentioned earlier, what I am focusing on is division and aggregation. These phenomena can commonly be observed in nature, and this flow is difficult to explain as a simple manipulation.

Mushrooms.
In this way, even within the ecosystem, various forms of division and colony formation can be observed.
However, this study has made one thing a little clearer.
Unfortunately, this experiment is different from the ordinary structures commonly found in nature.
