/murmuration

Thousands of entities navigate three forces:
separation, alignment, cohesion.

Autonomy, consensus, unity.

Moving across the canvas.
You become influence, authority, disruption.

The flock reacts, scatters, reorganises.
Patterns emerge, dissolve, reform.

The system responds to pressure
whilst maintaining its essential character.

Fluid mathematics reveal patterns
that govern seemingly chaotic phenomena.

Movements form from simple interactions
magnified across thousands.

Individual decisions culminate in collective behaviour.
Systems adapt, resist, transform, fade
when confronted with outside forces.

Where does individual choice end
and collective behaviour begin?

What makes a movement cohesive without being rigid?
When does influence become coercion?
When does consensus become conformity?

The murmuration holds no answers.

It simply continues,
responding to every gesture,
never quite settling,
always becoming something else.
