The limitation in multi-agent systems is usually the degree of interaction they can have. The bandwidth between ants, for example, is fairly low even when they are in direct contact, let alone 1 inch apart.
This limitation keeps their behavior relatively simple, simple relative to what you might expect for the large neural mass involved. Also, swarms only scale to a limited degree. An anthill 1 mile high is not going to possess much more "smarts" than a 3 inch anthill. -Brad ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
