Not sure I would agree about a single ant being coherent. Aren’t ants super dependent on their colonies for reasonable behavior? Like they use pheromone trails to find food and so on.
Also AFAIK a misplaced pheromone trail can lead an ant to walk in circles, which is the archetypal example of incoherence. But I don’t know how much that happens in practice.
