Vicsek model

The Vicsek model is a simulation used to study collective behavior in groups, like how fish school or birds flock. In this model, each individual (or agent) moves in a specific direction but aligns its movement with nearby agents over time. This simple rule leads to coordinated motion, where individuals adjust their speed and direction based on their neighbors. It helps researchers understand phenomena such as swarm behavior, the dynamics of social groups, and even offers insights into biological systems. The model highlights how local interactions can lead to complex global patterns.
