so it strikes me that in my Bob-Albrecht's-Hurkle implementation so far screwlisp.small-web.org/lispga

the way I did "what-direction-is-the-hurkle-in?" is a reasonable model for Breitenbergian sensors @ksaj .

Just instead of saying "what direction is the Hurkle in" maybe "is there a Hurkle in this direction" (and then accelerate towards or away from it by my particular itch)

Breitenberg's Vehicles was a jumble-of-finitely-many automata indicative model of human minds.

Koalas face death, attacks and mass starvation from monoculture plantations
Cost-effective management techniques for Australian wildlife

"...Displaced animals were sometimes still up in trees that were felled and ended up with broken bones, or were orphaned babies left behind. Others were attacked by cows or dogs."

"A 2023 study of reported wild koala deaths in south-east Queensland found vehicles were responsible for about half (1,431) of all fatalities."

The Guardian · Koalas face death, attacks and starvation as blue gums chopped down in VictoriaBy Petra Stock

Once you could hear the sound of koalas -
"all you hear is trucks now..."

Destruction of koala habitat through sprawl, roads and dogs

"Almost 2m hectares of forests suitable for koalas have been destroyed since 2011. They are one of more than 2,000 Australian species listed as under threat in what scientists are calling an extinction crisis." >>
