Public Attributes
boolean	alive = 0
	The state of the being (dead = 0, alive = 1)
uint32_t	age = 0
	The age of the being, since the board is up.
SensingData	sensors
	Sensor dada holder It has all the sensor types defined in the Sensing.h file. Think of it as a holder for data captured from sensors, organized by sensor types.
byte	NGS =0x00
	The neighborhood state mapping (NGS)
long	ASBM = 0x00
	The active sensor mapping (ASBM)

Detailed Description

The Being class contains the basic attributes of a being, such as its age, its state,
its Active Sensors Bit Mapping (ASBM),
the Neighborhood State Mapping (NGS).
It used for storing automata data and managing sensors.
