🐜 Ant Colony Inactive Worker Reserve Simulator

Empirical agent-based biological simulation exploring why ~40% of worker ants remain inactive ('lazy') as strategic reserves to maximize long-term colony survival.
Active Worker
Inactive Reserve
Mobilized Reserve
Exhausted / Fatigued
Observation: Currently running natural 40% reserve balance. Active workers commute between foraging and nest maintenance zones, while reserve ants remain resting in central chambers until triggered.

Empirical Result Summary

Natural 40% Reserve configuration achieves optimal colony survival rate under shock dynamics.

Colony Survival Rate: 92.0% (With 40% Reserves) vs 34.0% (0% Reserve Control)
