Abstract
We propose a weak definition for the usage of a tool for an ethological study of ants. In particular, we illustrate the usage of a cart in experiments on the transportation of foods by ants as employing a logical structure including a contradiction. The contradiction originates in ruling out the very term ‘tool’ from the description of the behavior of the animals. Focusing on a self-similar structure underlying the description of a contradiction, we observe a particular time-series sequence of ants’ behaviors following a 1/ f or Zipf’s law. The behaviors following the 1/ f or Zipf’s law manifest an appropriateness of the notion of a cart as a logical jump.
