[FRIAM] Thread Bust: WAS: stygmergy, CA's, and [biological] development

[thompnickson2 at gmail.com]

Hey, Ed, 

 

Perhaps you are the person to answer this question:  I have snared both of my grandchildren in CA #30, the -son because he is interested in pattern formation in regenerating planaria and the -daughter because she likes really neat stuff.  I would like to give them simple programs so they could generate any one of the 256 rules and see the consequences of them.   I thought I would find several readily at hand, but what I did was a serious of sites which schooled me to write such a program myself.  I am too old for that.  Do you know of any I could email to my -children?  It is the first time in years that I have actually caught their fancy with something, so it would really make me happy. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Nick

In an affine space (vector space + point), an ant’s position is a point and a path or trail can be described by vectors.

Focusing the application of ant foraging, what is the scalar product of an ant?  What is the sum of two ants.  Same questions for pheromone trails.  If the answer is that scalar product and sum are not general enough.  What are the homomorphisms of ants and pheromone trails?

I want to clarify what a dual space is.  I think it is much more general
than Frank thinks it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjoint_functors
