🐜 Ant Double-Bridge Lab: Pheromone Choice, Short vs Long Path

Two wooden bridges of different length join an ant nest to a sugar pile. Ants choose by scent, deposit pheromone as they cross and the colony converges on one path. Compare the agent simulation with a mean-field model and run 24 colonies to see how often the short bridge wins.
