Arbitrage Equilibrium, Invariance, and the Emergence of Spontaneous Order in the Dynamics of Bird-like Agents.

ABSTRACT: The physics of active biological matter, such as bacterial colonies and bird flocks, exhibiting interesting self-organizing dynamical behavior has gained considerable importance in recent years. Current theoretical advances use techniques from hydrodynamics, kinetic theory, and non-equilibrium statistical physics. However, for biological agents, these approaches do not seem to recognize explicitly their critical feature: namely, the role of survival-driven purpose and the attendant pursuit of maximum utility. Here, we propose a game-theoretic framework, statistical teleodynamics, that demonstrates that the bird-like agents self-organize dynamically into flocks to approach a stable arbitrage equilibriumof equal effective utilities. This is essentially the invisible h
