When an ant is returning to the nest and reaches a fork in the trail,
it instinctively takes the path that deviates least, which inevitably leads home..
" The geometry of the forking path, " says the articule,
" optimises the flow of ants through the network of trails,
especially when ants are walking along them in two directions,
and minimises the amount of energy individuals waste by going
in the wrong direction. "
