@rk@mastodon.well.com @kludgekml@sunbeam.city The thing I keep thinking about is: "how do the ants know that there is something wrong with this other ant's leg?" Perhaps the extra tissue didn't smell right or it had the wrong texture. But to what extent do ants have a model of the ant body in their tiny minds? Can they apply that model to other ants? They do attack certain body parts when fighting enemies. But how do they navigate the body of the other? How do they identify what belongs and what doesn't?
