The colony lives comfortably while the nest continues to be built. The ventila-
tion is perfect at every stage, and passages and tunnels are placed in exactly
the right places. It is God with His mighty power Who directs the planned ac-
tivities of these insects.
As the mound rises in the process of construction, convection air
currents rising through the channels serve as invisible construction
piers and workers weave strong walls around these currents. 34
Because of this, the nest is more than just a pile of earth; it be-
comes a complex structure through the careful step-by-step applica-
tion of technology. Finally, a wonderful example of free architecture
emerges with a ventilation system, controlled humidity, and a con-
nected series of tunnels and passages. Construction is perfect at every
stage, without the slightest error. While construction continues, the
other members of the colony live comfortably. At every stage, ventila-
tion channels, tunnels and passages are put accurately in place. At no
stage are any errors made that would put the colony in jeopardy.
These mounds are built to be hard and strong; when they are
joined and the dome is complete, the mounds serve as scaffolding.
