That sounds like sentient instinct. Like dna?  
I found a post([So what actually is "The Blob?" (lots of spoilers)](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/so-what-actually-is-the-blob-lots-of-spoilers/15159/7)) where Kevin said its hyper intelligent and we’re dealing with the individual cells. Cells communicate though…  
That makes me think, if humanity was able to start retaking the planet from the blob, would that then make us akin to cancer cells to it?  
Oh shoot, could that mean humanity was/has actually already been incorporated into the ‘body’ of the blob before the cataclysm happened?
