An exercise about ants and first passage processes, solved through the bounded diffusion equation (Exercise 3, Unit 12, B3, MS327, OU). Within my brain, the concept of ants is associated to Hofstadter’s masterpiece: the GEB, specially, to both the Prelude and … Ant Fugue.

Of course, I also think about O. Wilson (mentioned in the GEB, actually).

have you ever tried to model why ants fall into those giant ant death spirals?

I haven’t but sounds interesting. I’m aware that some molecular (pheromonal) communication models are based on the diffusion equation. How would you model the ant mill? 🌀🐜
