from a closed to an open structure, i.e. the coefficient of interaction, k(N;S),
approaches unity.
In each species of bird, a minimum number of individuals is necessary for the
emergence of the superorganism state. In this state a flock of birds (sharing their
nervous system ) can orient themselves by the sun and stars, compute a flight trajectory,
and calculate the optimum rate of travel. In doing so, the shared nervous system in the
superorganismic state can work with a number of random factors — the force and
direction of the wind, changes in flight velocity dependent on atmospheric conditions,
etc. (F Fi ig g. . 4 43 3).
