Abstract

The behaviour of Schistosomatidae cannot realize the lateral inhibition. As a consequence, it cannot realize different pictures of reality depending on a context. The point is that the parasites try to be propagated in all possible directions, no matter what conditions are at the moment. Nevertheless, true swarms, such as the ant nests or plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum, react differently under different conditions. It means that they can produce different pictures of reality or even compete with their own kind. The latter situation of their competitions for the same food allows us to define their behaviour as a game.
