emulating natural systems

Emulating natural systems involves designing artificial processes or machines that mimic how nature solves problems and maintains balance. For example, engineers might create a water filtration system inspired by how a beehive filters honey, or develop algorithms based on how ant colonies find the shortest paths. These approaches use principles observed in nature to improve efficiency, sustainability, and adaptability of human-made systems. Essentially, it’s about learning from the elegance and effectiveness of natural processes to create better technology.
