"Ants solving a geometric problem and it's amazing."
This is a great example of 'emergent phenomenon':
- None of the ants understand the problem they're solving.
- None of them can see the whole shape.
- A series of small decisions or rules add up to something with a new layer of complexity.

Had a great visit at TTU as a TechASM Super Speaker. It's a really beautiful campus. Met a lot of nice faculty and students, and had a lot of wonderful conversations. Especially honored to have been selected and invited by the graduate students. Excited to watch all of your careers flourish!
