This is actually pretty close to the current currents implementation.

(as noted before it’s not visualized in any way so it is not applied to cells currently).

I think the only real major difference is that in your design the currents directions are more harmonious, I think the current system has a lot higher variability in the pushing force between nearby points and they aren’t a part of large continuous currents.
