Yea they don't really define stampede, let alone the subsidence/ threshold to break-off.
That's not a simple rule.
Is it traffic, weight, vibrations? An absolute threshold for decrease, or just a rate drop?
Which made me think- maybe a second rule exists, but it probably isn't necessary from an 'algorithm works' standpoint.
If an ant starts marching again once it no longer has another on top of it- once the supply of ants starts to dwindle (too many tied up in bridge structure), the bridge will start to deconstruct itself on its own.
It's a status toggled by other elements having the same boolean column. If too many are 'busy' as bridges, that leaves too few to hold the toggle buttons of the remaining others.
It's not a bridge, it's a self-sorting, self-clearing traffic jam. You drive when you can.
Which as a civil engineer the traffic aspect is more interesting to me than the bridge aspect.

But probably would get fewer clicks.
