Implementing multi-agent systems on GPU 425
• breath: this action converts mineral carbon from the soil to carbon diox-
ide (CO
2
) that is released into the soil and
• growth: by this action each microbial colony fixes the carbon present
in the environment to reproduce itself (augment its size). This action
is only possible if the colony breathing needs are covered, i.e., enough
mineral carbon is available.
These behaviors are described in Algorithm 22.
