According only to that linked article, there are two separate claims:
1. Bee dances are based on 2-dimensional projections of 6-dimensional flag manifolds.
2. Bees detect quark quantum fields, hypothesized because they can also be described as flag manifolds.
The first claim seems to be much more plausible and interesting to me.
I do not really understand flag manifolds, but are they computationally difficult to project to 2D?
- yummyfajitas 16y agoI do not really understand flag manifolds, but are they computationally difficult to project to 2D? Not for the purposes of this article. It might be computationally difficult to predict the progress of a dance as t -> infinity (to answer this question, I'd need to know more about flag manifolds), but it's unlikely that bees solve that problem.
