Our edge: the AI may change the problem (pin, lane, polarity swaps; part nudges) instead of only solving it. Needs Nidhish's yes. D5.
How it looks
Drawing: illustration of the idea (decision D5), not a CORE3588 route
Illustration: two signals that leave a camera plug in one order and must arrive at the module in the other. A router alone has to cross them, which costs vias. Ants may instead propose swapping which module pin each one uses.
How it works
Where it fits
The same loop can also move a part a little: that move is a placement ECO.
It is possible because Ants owns the whole design, from schematic to placement to routing; a router bolted on at the end cannot touch the schematic.
