Questions before conclusions

The proposed agenda begins with eusocial shrimp biology and expands into colony organisation, social evolution, networks and computational models. These are research directions, not a catalogue of completed work.

Each programme page identifies questions, possible methods and supporting literature. Connections to distributed computing are framed as hypotheses and modelling exercises; biological societies should not be treated as engineered algorithms by default.

A route for refinement

Readers with relevant expertise can use the expression-of-interest form to propose literature, methodological improvements or a bounded contribution. A future programme should be sized to the evidence and capacity available.
