Ledger-state stigmergy maps biological indirect coordination to blockchain ledgers via a state-transition formalism and three base patterns for on-chain agent coordination.
On Base, probabilistic search is 23% of arbitrage activity but causes 95% of spam and 20% of gas use; protocol changes shift revenue toward successful trades and reduce spam share.
