Ants by Daniel

Theirs is a perfection of pure form.Nobody but has his proper
place and knows it.Everything they do is functional.Each foray in a
zigzag lineEach prodigious liftingOf thirty-two times their own
weightEach excavation into the earth's coreEach erectionOf a crumbly
I have often thought this is the best architecture for an AGI (or brain for a
mind). But those who have tried to implement a massively parallel system
modelling neurons obviously hasn't been successful, at least not yet. So as
programmers, we perform tricks and come up with algorithms to try
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

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
