A good example of hypothetical structures and relationships.
A photo receptive cell sending a sing along to a cluster of motor cells all on the top of a creature.
This would give powerful downward thrust in liquid when a shadow presented overhead. We would interpret this as behavior.
The same system, with analogous structures but in a terrestrial environment - can disperse chemical toxins and repellents towards a shadow as a spray.
More photosensitive cells and more fine control between clusters of motor sells confers vector based detection and evasion, or targeted spraying of voc’s. Fine control requires connectivity.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
