What about having more states that just occupied and empty (with respect 
to ants)? Just thinking aloud, how about one of empty, moving, and 
occupied? No, that doesn't work either. How about asking the current 
square to move the ant to the next square? I don't think this works 
either though.

There must be something wrong with the way I'm looking at this.

Oh well, back to the day job.
