# SHORTLIST
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- nonlinear response to concentration of pheromones (with upper and lower threshold)
|
|||
|
|
-> needs a separation of sensitivity and internal energy
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## More chaos
|
|||
|
|
- what happens if you disrupt the trail with an obstacle?
|
|||
|
|
- limited node capacity
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

# Model setup
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Agents
|
|||
|
|
- previous_position
|
|||
|
|
- position
|
|||
|
|
- sensitivity
|
|||
|
|
- internal energy
|
|||
|
|
- pheromone drop rate (A/B)
|
|||
|
|
- what chemical we´re looking for
|
|||
|
|
- optional: how much food we have with us (and decrement to prevent dying if energy is low)
|
|||
|
|
- alpha
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### step function
|
|||
|
|
- probablistic forward step based on concentrations and sensitvity
|
|||
|
|
- follow highest concentration probabilistically and be random otherwise
|
|||
|
|
- drop pheromones
|
|||
|
|
- have we found food -> change behaviour and decrease food amount + reset stuff
|
|||
|
|
- are we at the nest (having found food)? -> recruit new ants + reset stuff
|
|||
|
|
- decrement sensitivity
|
|||
|
|
- decrement energy (optional: only without food)
|
|||
|
|
- do i need to die
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Model
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### hexagonal grid
|
|||
|
|
- pheromone a/b concentration
|
|||
|
|
- nest location
|
|||
|
|
- food location/concentration
|
|||
|
|
- for later: node capacity
|
|||
|
|
- N total ants
|
|||
|
|
- a few other constants which need to be set
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### step
|
|||
|
|
advance ants (call ants step function)
|
|||
|
|
decrease pheromone concentration on grid
