thought. 4) In the next experiment, the researchers combine one established group of nano-bots with another. These two groups have applied their sound-systems in different ways: they speak different languages. When first set a task, the two groups cannot collaborate and stay separate. But gradually, through the process of achieving goals, the two groups learn each others’ languages. (They speak more simply and loudly to members of the foreign group!) During rest periods, the nano-bots generally reassemble in their old groups. Conclusion: Language creates division and connection/ group identity. 5) In the final experiment, the researchers play synthesised whale song to the nano bots. The nano-bots have an instant and profound reaction. They howl. Do they dislike the music? Are they interpreting the whale song as unhappy? Or has the whale song told them of a world they cannot comprehend, beyond the tasks of the laboratory where creatures think and move freely. Conclusion: language creates imagination... misery
