Richa","doi":"arxiv-2408.10830","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/arxiv-2408.10830","url":null,"abstract":"Local interactions of uncoordinated individuals produce the collective\u0000behaviors of many biological systems, inspiring much of the current research in\u0000programmable matter. A striking example is the spontaneous assembly of fire\u0000ants into \"bridges\" comprising their own bodies to traverse obstacles and reach\u0000sources of food. Experiments and simulations suggest that, remarkably, these\u0000ants always form one bridge -- instead of multiple, competing bridges --\u0000despite a lack of central coordination. We argue that the reliable formation of\u0000a single bridge does not require sophistication on behalf of the individuals by\u0000provably reproducing this behavior in a self-organizing particle system. We\u0000show that the formation of a single bridge by the particles is a statistical\u0000inevitability of their preferences to move in a particular direction, such as\u0000toward a food source, and their preference for more neighbors. Two parameters,\u0000$eta$ and $beta$, reflect the strengths of these preferences and determine\u0000the Gibbs stationary measure of the corresponding particle system's Markov\u0000chain dynamics. We show that a single bridge almost certainly forms when $eta$\u0000and $beta$ are sufficiently large. Our proof introduces an auxiliary Markov\u0000chain, called an \"occupancy chain\", that captures only the significant, global\u0000changes to the system. Through the occupancy chain, we abstract away\u0000information about the motion of individual particles, but we gain a more direct\u0000means of analyzing their collective behavior. Such abstractions provide a\u0000promising new direction for understanding many other systems of programmable\u0000matter.","PeriodicalId":501168,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - CS - Emerging Technologies","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142226986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
