Building Robustness Into a System
In the ancolony, there is this stochasticity built into the system and also a certain amount of diversity. So in that sense, one can think of building in robustness into a system just in the sense of solution finding. This is what complex systems do - they never stand still like a bridge. They are always moving and because of this movement being disordered, a disturbance can be resolved as a new solution will be found.
