The extent of household environment deprivation varies among the states: from 2% in Delhi to a maximum of 74% in Odisha.
Swarm size constraint: Due to the spatial extent of the environment and the limitations of each individual agent with respect to its energy, communication range, and sensing capabilities, thousands of agents are required to compensate for these limitations such that sufficient data on all areas in the environment can be collected.
Hence, for early life phenotypic adjustments to be beneficial, the early environment needs to be predictive to some extent of the adult environment [ 1, 2].
