Trusting emergence on the fly



Invisible, perfect avian motorways, made physical by the bodies of the birds.
[...]
They start out flying in the groups they've been feeding with all day, and slowly merge into bigger and ever denser flocks.

I've spent hours watching and never seen a collision. How can that be possible?

This astonishing video of emergent order was sent by in by designer extraordinaire Matt Jensen (via Motion Abbey). Thanks Matt!
