People steer toward simple destinations while making small local adjustments around neighbours, pillars, gates, and exits.
Watch people move through shared space, adjusting to one another and to the obstacles around them. As each person makes small local choices, larger streams, lanes, and bottlenecks begin to appear.
A claim moves from person to person, gaining or losing strength as trust, novelty, emotion, and repetition shape whether it is passed on.
Watch a rumour spread through a social network. Some people repeat it, some ignore it, and some alter it, so the pattern is both transmission and mutation.
Small cultural patterns are copied, varied, selected, and recombined as they move through groups.
Watch a simple cultural pattern spread and mutate. Versions that are easier to recognise, repeat, or adapt become more visible over time.
