That’s an odd idea, but it has a certain logic to it. Each spore could be a micro‑process checking for malicious patterns, like a distributed, low‑overhead firewall. Artists might get away with it if the system is lightweight and doesn’t interfere with the display. It would need a good management layer, though—otherwise you’ll end up with a fungal overload of alerts. Still, the whimsical angle could make security more engaging for users who’d otherwise ignore it.
