It is a story of a "mad scientist", mathematician Ammon Lymphater, who invents an artificial intelligence, and then he realizes that it is capable of rendering the humankind obsolete.
It was first published in the 1961 collection Księga robotów [pl] (Book of Robots) with the pre-annotation "from the memoirs of Ijon Tichy".
He decided to consult a famous myrmecologist, who told him about a rare ant species Acanthis Rubra Willinsoniana with an exceptionally high adaptability.
Eventually Lymphater devised and constructed "It" capable of instant precognition of everything within "Its" rapidly expanding range of perception.
[1][2] It was translated in Russian (as "Формула Лимфатера") in 1963,[3] in Hungarian (as "Lymphater utolsó képlete") in 1966,[4] and in Bulgarian (as "Формулата на Лимфатер" by Георги Димитров Георгиев) in 1969.
