Absolutely! Here's how the image connects to the core principles of stimergy:

* **Indirect Coordination:** The people in the image aren't directly communicating detailed plans, but are working  in a way that influences each other.  Similarly, in stimergy, individual actions influence the behavior of others  without direct instruction.
* **Environmental Traces:** Think of the trails and markers left behind by the people as they work. These traces serve as cues for  others to pick up where they left off or understand where to contribute next.  In stimergy, modifications made to the environment by one agent serve as stimuli for subsequent agents.
* **Emergent Collaboration:** The picture doesn't showcase a rigid, predetermined plan. Rather, there's an organic, almost improvisational quality as the workers respond to the changing environment and traces left by others. This aligns with how stimergic systems give rise to complex results from simple interactions.

**Examples to bring it to life:**

* **Ant Colonies:** Individual ants leave pheromone trails that communicate where food sources are located, influencing the movement of other ants in the colony.
* **Wikipedia:** Editing actions by individual users create the visible structure and content of the wiki pages, guiding future contributors in expanding and improving the information.
