To follow Pareto’s principle like Ant society, our model system must follow the three cases 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 containing nodes A and B at certain ratio.
Condition 2. Unstable state with node A removed
Fig. 2 By removal of node A, the system containing only node B becomes unstable.
Condition 3. From unstable to stable state
Fig. 3 In the unstable state, some node B become A while the others remain B. The system then becomes stable again.
