The hihn carpenter ant, according to some trulloc legends, was the first inspiration for the architectural form of complex geometric and higher mathematical principles known as the hihn method. The ants make extraordinarily varied use of their mandibles in combat, construction, handling offspring and in some cases, even locomotion. In their constructive activities, their economy of traffic movement, labor organization, resource conservation and goal accomplishment offer lessons still taught today in basic hihn studies.
