But hopefully the bandwidth of communication is compensated by the power of
parallel processing. So long as communication between ants or processing nodes
is not completely blocked, some sort of intelligence should self-organize, then
its just a matter of time. As programmers or engineers we can manipulate those
communication channels ...
Sounds like a "New Kind of Science" to me ... ! What work has been done in the
AI field since his book came out?
