- jefurii 11y agoAnts use stigmergy[0]. They lay down different pheremones in their environment as they walk. Intelligent behavior arises out of the combination of all these signals. Wikipedia, the law, and open source software are great examples of stigmergy in humans. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigmergy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigmergy
- gchokov 11y agoThanks for the reference. Definitely an interesting read. Knew about the pheromones, but not about Stigmergy.
