Generic Alignment Conjecture and the Problem of Emergence of Collective Behavior

Explore the intriguing concepts of compressible and incompressible flows, focusing on the generic alignment conjecture and the emergence of collective behavior in this 50-minute lecture from Max Planck Science. Delve into three key aspects of flocking behavior: collision avoidance, velocity matching, and flock centering, gaining insights into how these principles contribute to the complex dynamics of group movement in nature and artificial systems.
