Man I am really envious on your ability to programm bots ^^.
Well another topic can you store in more than memory location pery cyle using ties?
I thought you could only address one location.
Hmm I wish my wire/satellite concept and my use tied bot as additional eye concept would work although I am sure if these would be good for a hivebot.
Ok concerning the in,out tie stuff, I am not sure whats the problem but if you just want to make something readable you might consider to use one digit of an out to specify the "topic" and the rest for a value.(use modulo)
Or if you have enoguh outs you use one to sepcify the topics(again using modulo to assign digits to other outs topic)
If you want to tell someone something you might consider to producing "data capsules" meaning you will produce bots which only lives to be a messenger for a certain message (using ties for data transfer).
Depending on what kind of version you use these capsules could be produced beforehand. Basically you use a virus to make an empty bot, insert a virus(gene) that inhibits all he needs to know for basic functioning then you reproduce him with shoots storing in 300 repro so you have a storage of them, if you need to send a meesage you just give them they calues they shall transmit and of they go, or you bind them to your bot and whenever he sees a bot of his own kind he uses deltie to set one data capsule free and continues his fly.
Another possibility would be if each hive bot would have a certain "sector" assigned to him so you know where to find him. Or you might consider using a replacement tactic, you send one bot out to find a none hibernating bot, if he finds one he sucks it dry killing it off and then walks back to go into hibernation, such he replaces the bot he killed.
