  • The optimal strategy for a swarm and for an individual are different.
    • Multi-headed search vs single-headed search.
    • If you can only have a single search head on a problem domain, you want it to be the best it can be.
      • K-selected.
    • If you can have a multi-headed search on a problem domain, you want as many heads as you can get to flood-fill the problem.
      • R-selected.
    • The swarm needs breadth, the individual needs depth.[gf]
