| From the list of parameters for developing wilderness machines 'reproduction' in particular raises questions in terms of machine creatures. We discuss if reproduction or replication should be the more appropriate term for our hybrid creature.\\ | From the list of parameters for developing wilderness machines 'reproduction' in particular raises questions in terms of machine creatures.

| The experience of walking through the reed beds is discussed; how it enables shifting paces and tracks. When you are small you don't even make a path, but can pass through. Could our creature meander through the reed bed and exchange information? What if it extends from up the creek down to the reed bed and it stores its data into the mud. Mud as a sedimentation of environmental data. A model from biology could be a Siphonophore, a marine creature that is at ones a single organism and may collaborating beings. Could there be a second species that reads the mud bed archive by digging through it? A librarian?\\ | The experience of walking through the reed beds is discussed; how it enables shifting paces and tracks. When you are small you don't even make a path, but can pass through.

| The team discusses the pros and cons of oven information exchange between creatures. What are the risks to individual members and to the collaborative super-organism they form? Can it be nessisary to withhold information from others? How do they create barriers to sharing information? If we want to maintain free information sharing, the super-organism needs to be able to handle that in terms of evolution. In robotics individuals actually don't need internal representation of the world to have behavior, maybe it could exist only externally; in the mud.\\ | The team discusses the pros and cons of oven information exchange between creatures.
