chemical thing it is. These are "numerical ants" not the real thing. The key is going to simulate the complex behavior of ant colony not the physiology of ants.Here, the chemical thing just present the signals the ants send. others could make some decisions depend on the concentration of the chemical thing.When an ant finds a piece of food, it drop some chemical thing as it moves. When other ants "sniff" the chemical, they follow the chemical toward the food. As more ants looking forward food, they reinforce the chemical trail.

In this process, each ant follows a simple rule and he just know a little bit of local information, at same time, there is no ant smarter than others. "every ant are created equal" but the whole ants colony emergence a complex behavior.
