"emergent anthill"
Wonder if this concept could also be Moloch.
Moloch is sometimes used to represent how humans just consume.
And, what do ants do, expand and consume.
More and More I think the ant-human analogy is best.
We are organizing, we form structures, but it isn't a plan, it's just twitching on our feedbacks. We have some loose internal functions to respond to inputs. That when stacked up by millions form some pattern.
Ant's don't have an 'anthill plan' and humans don't have a 'city/town plan'.
Like ants, we just kind of group together and follow the chemical paths laid down by others (coffee, beer).
