How do aneural biological systems process information and learn?

Question

Plant Intelligence, Basal Cognition, and Molecular Computation: How Do Aneural Biological Systems Process Information and Learn? How do organisms lacking a centralized nervous system (plants, slime molds, unicellular networks) perceive environmental stimuli, compute adaptive decisions, store long-term memories, and communicate across scale-free biological architectures?

Why it matters

They are working designs for decentralised, low-power computation that AI architectures could borrow.
