If I were to look up in the sky and you were standing next to me, you would probably do the same - even if nothing was there. socialality is not a word, but good try. Google has 140 results for it, but that still doesn't make it a word :) @paul: awesome of you to stop by - loved your simulation! Have not heard any complaints from the readership, re: functionality, but will keep an eye. Yes, the parallel with your work and social media is an interesting one. Glad to hear you're in the social media ranks! @florist: yes, most things will lead to flocking.

If not drop me an email (its on my website) as I would love to know which systems and setup cause a problem. Secondly the parallels with social book marking make an interesting point, one which I have not considered. This is strange as aside form my research into multi-agent systems I spend the rest of my time on reddit :-) Paul Firstly thanks very much for using my Boids simulator to make your point, I hope it has worked ok for all your readers.

Flocking is simply an artifact of "socialality" (is that a word?) You seem to be missing an obvious point…by definition, anything using the term “social” will eventually lead to flocking behavior.

For those of you that wanted to check out Matt's article (worth a read) about swarming, check it out <a href="http://digigen.wordpress.com/2007/07/19/part1-swarm-theory-and-social-networks/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. (by the way, Matt - you really should put a search bar on your site). Swarming and flocking are very similar. In fact, the boids simulator is listed as a reference in Wikipedia's definition of Swarm intelligence. @matt: thank you.

It would be good to get to know your thoughts on this as I think Swarm and Flock theory both have a similar aspect to them. Great stuff.
