        self.velocity = initialize_velocity()
        self.sensors = create_sensors()
        
    def update(self, neighbors, environment):
        """Update agent state based on local information."""
        # Process sensor information
        local_info = self.sensors.process(neighbors, environment)
        
        # Update movement
        self.velocity = compute_velocity(local_info)
        self.position += self.velocity
        
    def interact(self, environment):
        """Interact with environment (e.g., deposit pheromones)."""
        pass

Ant Colony Implementation

class AntColony:
    def __init__(self, config):
        self.agents = create_agents(config)
        self.environment = create_environment(config)
        self.pheromone_grid = initialize_pheromones()
        
    def update(self, dt):
        """Update colony state."""
        # Update agents
        for agent in self.agents:
            observation = self.environment.get_local_state(agent.position)
            agent.update(dt, observation)
            
        # Update environment
        self.environment.update(dt)
        self.pheromone_grid *= self.config.pheromone_decay
        
    def run_simulation(self, steps):
        """Run simulation for specified steps."""
        for step in range(steps):
            self.update(self.config.timestep)
            self.collect_data(step)
