What is Stigmergy?
From Greek: stigma (mark) + ergon (work). Indirect coordination through environment modification.
Agent Acts
An agent performs an action and leaves a trace in the environment
Others Sense
Other agents detect the trace and modify their behavior accordingly
Patterns Emerge
Collective intelligence arises without central coordination
"No ant knows what the colony needs. No ant gives orders. Yet colonies solve complex optimization problems that no individual could."
