E.coli Follow Pareto's principle!
To follow Pareto’s principle like an ant society, our model system must follow the three conditions shown in Fig. 1 to 3. In our model, all nodes (individual cells) have the same genetic circuits but take two states, A (worker) and B (idler), depending on the surrounding circumstances.
Condition 1. Bistable state
Fig. 1 The system is stable when it contains both A (worker) and B (idler) at certain ratio.
Condition 2. The removal of A (worker)
Fig. 2 By removal of A (worker), "stable coexistence" of the system is broken.
Condition 3. Regain of "stable coexistence"
Fig. 3 Some B (idler) changes to A (worker) while the others remain B (idler). Then the system regains "stable coexistence".
