  2. Collective representations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_representations

    Collective representations are concepts, ideas, categories and beliefs that do not belong to isolated individuals, but are instead the product of a social collectivity. [1] Émile Durkheim (1858-1917) originated the term "collective representations" to emphasise the way that many of the categories of everyday use–space, time, class, number etc–were in fact the product of collective social ...

  3. Vicsek model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicsek_model

    Collective motion and swarming are among the most studied phenomena. Within the huge number of models that have been developed to catch such behavior from a microscopic description, the most famous is the model introduced by Tamás Vicsek et al. in 1995.

  4. Collective motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_motion

    Collective motion is defined as the spontaneous emergence of ordered movement in a system consisting of many self-propelled agents. It can be observed in everyday life, for example in flocks of birds , schools of fish , herds of animals and also in crowds and car traffic.

  5. Active matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_matter

    Experiments on synthetic systems include self-propelled colloids (e.g., phoretically propelled particles [8] [20]), driven granular matter (e.g. vibrated monolayers [21]), swarming robots and Quinke rotators. Concepts in Active matter. Active gels Dense active matter; Collective motion. Collective animal behavior; Collective cell migration

  6. List of states of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter

    Strange matter: A type of quark matter that may exist inside some neutron stars close to the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit (approximately 2–3 solar masses). May be stable at lower energy states once formed. Quark matter: Hypothetical phases of matter whose degrees of freedom include quarks and gluons Color-glass condensate

  7. Bacteria collective motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria_collective_motion

    Collective motion (or collective behavior) is a common phenomenon in our daily life. From bird flocks to the human gathering, and from colonies of army ants to swimming bacteria, collective behaviors happens all the time. The definition of collective motion varies slightly in different researches, but the core is the same.

  8. Jungian archetypes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungian_archetypes

    Blue, on the other hand, represents spiritual ideas, and the invisible light at the ultra-violet end of the spectrum represents the influence of archetypes on both living and non-living matter. [21] For example, the blue light in the spectrum might represent the influence of spiritual beliefs and values on our behavior, such as the belief in a ...

  9. Quasiparticle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasiparticle

    In condensed matter physics, a quasiparticle is a concept used to describe a collective behavior of a group of particles that can be treated as if they were a single particle. Formally, quasiparticles and collective excitations are closely related phenomena that arise when a microscopically complicated system such as a solid behaves as if it ...
