Ant Colony's Robustness Demonstrated
- Ant colonies remain functional even after losing a thousand workers suddenly.
- Other ants quickly compensate, taking over the missing ants' roles like foraging.
Defining Robustness in Complex Systems
- Robustness means maintaining function or structure despite disturbances.
- Ant colonies show functional robustness despite lacking a fixed physical structure.
Rubik's Cube: Non-Robust Structure
- Rubik's Cube is an example of a system with non-robust structure.
- Slight disturbances destroy its organized pattern and restoring it is difficult.
