Swarm Intelligence

1:00PM, in class
"Ok class, our lesson foh tohday is swarm intelligence".  (no response from sleepy class).  "Swarm intelligence is the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems, natural or artificial" (only a few ladies were jotting down notes, many males will photocopy their notes later).  "Kinsay ga dula ug DOTA diri?"  (suddenly, many eyes lit up!) Di ba, the Nerubian Weaver can send a swarm of beetles that latches onto foes to create chaos in large armies, reducing armor and damaging them?  That is sort of like swarm intelligence. Like birds in a flock, termites, ants, etc.  (now the class has awoken).

(Later)
"Ok class, kinsa ga dula ug CounterStrike diri?"  (Students: "kini, mura'g exciting ni nga class diay!")  "Our next lesson on Monday is about artificial intelligence. Bots use AI diba?"

Ant vs. termite (usually, the ant wins because termites are slow and vulnerable outside its hive)
