As mentioned above, a cell in a multicellular organism can pass energy
tokens from its store to its neighbouring cells, using the
et_transport instruction. In this way, it is possible for a
multicellular organism to develop specialised cells that collect
energy tokens from the environment and distribute them throughout the
rest of the organism, leaving other cells free to specialise in other
tasks if necessary.
