Pierre-Paul Grassé's study of nest reconstruction and coordination among termites, which set out the theory of stigmergy. The companion cites it for coordination through shared traces, comparing it to agent swarms that keep shared campaign memories across sessions. Swarms, in swarm ecology, are collectives of swarmlets that communicate, divide labor, and keep shared records.
