This defines the difference between animal and [[creature logic]]: animal logic does not need to regulate paths actually travelled by a creature, only potential paths. Using these features of animal pathfinding, it is possible to create very complex logic gates. |

However, animal logic is slower than mechanical logic and less reliable than either fluid or mechanical logic. |
