I'm not having much luck with anything other than the design of the beehive being a one-off process, where the bees are designed, and the beehive is therefore designed as a part of bee behavior. But as I was getting at earlier, I don't think that's at all helpful, useful, or logically tenable...

tenable placemarker.

Behives result from running a rather simple iterative program. Same with ant mounds. The complex appearance has a simple underlying cause. Phenomena that look positively Wolframian. (flame suit on)

Behives result from running a rather simple iterative program

Could you please reiterate exactly what the "simple" "program" is in those little tiny bee brains? I for one would like to see the simple iterative program with no programmer. And while your at it, a schematic of the minute hardware that implements the program would be helpful, not only for the beehive architecture, but also for such marvels as the beeline.

And also while I'm at it, thanks for all your tremendous work on the links. The general and I appreciate it, as I'm sure do the others.

Cordially,
