To read for thesis. Aarathi Murali (RTaarrow. Swarm Intelligence: Is the Group Really Smarter? « People-triggers. Swarm Theory Swarm Intelligence, or Swarm Theory, is the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organizing systems: ants in a colony, movie raters at Rotten Tomatoes, participants in a market economy, etc.

Swarm Intelligence: Is the Group Really Smarter? « People-triggers

By observing these systems in nature, scientists have theorized that such systems harness a sort of leaderless, collective intelligence. By leveraging these kinds of consensus-based systems, groups of independently-acting agents can solve problems more efficiently than they could if they were centrally controlled. Ants, for example, do not use any kind of centralized management in their colonies.

Organization happens organically, through millions of interactions between individual ants who are following very simple behavior rules.

Mathematical operators for structural optimization « . . . . . an architecture "des humeurs"

It simultaneously calculates and designs the structural elements supporting the physio-morphologies. The shapes are made only through successive iterations that join the morphologies by physically and structurally coagulating the space between them, so that they can support each other both individually (local calculations) and as clusters (exo-local calculation). The calculation meets precise inputs (constraints and characteristics of the building material, initial state, deadload and transfer of forces, intensity and vectorization of these forces, etc.).

Calculation parameters.
