For Multicellular Organisms, this is the best aproach for dna creation. Using conditions such as age, any of the inputs or outputs, or pain/pleas, a heirarchy can be established. Ultimately, it may be easier to program a seperate cell to act as the brains, or decider for the group (that is if you want a swarm). A Head Cell could determine what the best direction is based on information sent in by the surrounding cells. Use of specialization is key for a succesful multi-cellular organism.

Specialization is one of the more common approaches to building a multibot. Using conditions such as age or in/out, bots are imprinted at birth with what their "role" should be in the larger multibot. Using this "role" variable, whole sections of DNA are turned on or off, in effect making each role a unique organism with its own set of code.

For example, a "head" bot could determine the best direction for travel based on information sent to it by surrounding "sensory" cells.
