The model shows that the two types of indirect interactions used by the ants to coordinate their activity faithfully reproduce the construction dynamics and the structures built during the experiments. (sciencedaily.com)
The ants thus use two types of indirect interactions in order to build complex architectures. (sciencedaily.com)
It instead boasts autonomy and self - sufficiency, relying on direct or indirect interactions among simple individual agents. (scientificamerican.com)
