Very complex and realistic flock activity can be generated from very simple rules -- from Wikipedia: separation :  steer  to avoid crowding local flockmates alignment : steer towards the average heading of local flockmates cohesion : steer to move toward the average position (center of mass) of local flockmates More complex rules can be added, such as obstacle avoidance and goal seeking. Boid-like rules and flock behavour can easily be observed in human populations. Separation, Alignment and Cohesion in typical human settlement  Humans demonstrate how human intelligence allows us to flock more perfectly than birds. Being so much smarter than birds, fish and bacteria, humans are able to flock in complex non-physical  dimensions to produce flocks like political parties, corporations and nation-states. However the principles of separation, alignment and cohesion still apply. No good human flocker wan
