It's not trivial. Imagine trying to computationally model this. And this does have practical applications too, better understanding of how ants flow in aggregates could have applications in modular robotics and claytronics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claytronics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claytronics
