A process of reciprocal perception and/or information leading to a shifting collective behavior.
D.M. GORDON showed that work in the anthill is a collective distributed process based on an also collective perception of the global needs, arising out of shifting tasks allocation, which in turn arise out of numerous interactions between individuals. (1995, p.50-7)
This type of processes obviously would deserve a general systemic research, because it is probably present in all kinds of social systems, from cells to human systems.
