Stigmergy: The term for indirect communication through the environment—like ants leaving pheromones—is 'stigmergy,' first coined by French biologist Pierre-Paul Grassé in 1959.
A mechanism of indirect coordination in which the trace left in an environment by an action stimulates subsequent actions. French zoologist Pierre-Paul Grassé introduced the concept in 1959 to explain decentralized coordination in insect colonies.
