Starting in 5 minutes on our discord — the third session in our series on stigmergy in the formal protocol theory interest group. HT Patrick Nast for introducing this thread into our deliberations. Turning out to be a really useful lens on the evolution of not just AI, but all technology in the near future, what we’re calling New Nature.

This is turning into a bit of an informal summer school on stigmergic technologies. Today we’re discussing an advanced model of stigmergic computing, pebble automata. Kinda the E. coli of markdown files.
