ANT - Ant Colony Intelligence Laboratory

A reproducible educational simulation of ant-colony foraging. Ants follow a few local rules — sensing the chemical field, depositing and following food pheromone trails — and the collective pattern emerges from those local choices.

One reproducible experiment: play, pause, step, reset and follow a single ant.
Three guided exercises: read the first trail, change one parameter, follow one ant.
Run replay: versions, configuration, tick count, metrics and events are exported and re-simulated.
Model assumptions and evidence, labelled as simulated, calculated and user-supplied.

This is an educational agent model, not a validated reconstruction of a species. Ticks, distance, food and chemical values are abstract and not species-calibrated; the numbers shown are model outputs, not biological measurements, and a bright trail does not prove a shortest path.

Research review: 2026-09-06. Publisher metadata and the available abstract/preview of Deneubourg et al. (1990) and Goss et al. (1989) were checked on that date. Subscription-only full text was not used to derive this implementation.

Scope, chosen on purpose: one published experiment and three guided studies. Queued next: EXP-002–010, synchronized A/B comparison and sandbox editing.

Sibling lab: BEE reads the same two-paper family through a different communication mechanism. No comparative numbers are published here. bee.aserdargun.com

Araştırma incelemesi: 2026-09-06. Deneubourg vd. (1990) ve Goss vd. (1989) yayıncı üst verileri ile erişilebilen özet/önizleme bu tarihte kontrol edildi; abonelikle erişilen tam metin kullanılmadı. Kapsam, bilinçli bir seçim: bir yayımlanmış deney ve üç rehberli çalışma. Sırada: EXP-002–010, eşzamanlı A/B karşılaştırması ve sandbox. Kardeş laboratuvar: BEE aynı iki makale ailesini farklı bir iletişim mekanizması üzerinden okur.

The interactive simulation itself requires JavaScript.
