What is emergent cooperation in multi-agent AI?

It's teamwork arising naturally from individual smarts, no explicit rewards—like bots rescuing pals in this study.

How do spiking neural networks enable strategy selection?

They fire timed spikes based on inputs (energies, positions), outputting attack/track/explore/avoid—evolving context-savvy choices.

Absolutely—predict swarms self-organizing for disasters or space, team identity via signals.
