Like, if an ant's way back to the nest is blocked, it can 'calculate' an alternate route back to the nest if it exists, but that's because the ant is doing equations in its head, it's because of pheromones and how strong they are in relation to the ant's position.
Think of it like you're near a Subway. You smell the bread and the closer you get to Subway, the stronger the bread smell gets.
