Boids Flocks, Herds, and Schools a Distributed Behavioral. In 1. 98. 6 I made a computer model of coordinated animal motion such as. It was based on three dimensional. I called the generic simulated flocking creatures. The basic flocking model consists of three simple. Each boid has direct access to the whole scenes geometric description. The neighborhood is characterized by a. Flockmates outside this. The neighborhood could be considered a model. A slightly more elaborate behavioral model was used in the early. It included predictive obstacle avoidance and goal seeking. Obstacle. avoidance allowed the boids to fly through simulated environments while. For applications in computer animation, a low. In cooperation with many coworkers at the Symbolics Graphics Division. Whitney Demos Productions, we made an animated short featuring the. Stanley and Stella in Breaking the Ice.

Flocking is a particularly evocative example of emergence. In the boids model and related systems like the multi agent. The component behaviors are inherently nonlinear, so mixing them gives. At the same time, the. The result is life like group behavior. A significant property of life like behavior is unpredictability. For example at one moment, the boids in the. It would be all but. At very short time scales the motion is quite predictable one. This fits with Langtons. The boids model is an example of an individual based. Individual based models.
