Sumario:The article discusses theories of collective behavior including social networking behavior in humans, flocking in birds, and schooling in fishes, particularly noting the theory of collective phenomena which combines dynamical systems, graph theory, Markov chains, and algorithms. It addresses the importance of the local neighborhood and modeling many-degrees-of-freedom, as well as comments on influence systems. It explores diffusive influence systems, multi-agent systems, and the work of computer scientist Bernard Chazelle.
