Swarms. Excerpted from John Robb : “The Tea Party movement in the US is an open source political protest. It emerged due to a substantial loss of government legitimacy (primarily from the mishandling of the global financial crisis) and continues to percolate as legitimacy continues to drain away from the government (health care, banking reform, unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcy, deficit, etc.). Here’s what open source means in this context:

In terms of the hierarchy of engagement, crowdsourcing is more akin to swarming than to the collective intelligence of an intentional community. ...Tags: First, Chris Grams of Shareable gives two reasons why he objects to crowdsourcing as a concept. This is followed by a collage of similarly critical citations: “ 1. “Crowdsourcing”

Once while diving off of Catalina Island I saw thousands of anchovies suddenly swarm into a great silver pulsating ball that shimmered with the fishes’ neon blue stripes. Just as nature is under assault, so a promising countermovement has emerged based on renewed totemic kinship with animals. This is a wonderful book that I strongly recommend to anybody:

I have struggled in formulating the narrative swarming in hybrid ecosystem as a participatory design experiment. This paper describes a participatory design experiment that is influenced by the swarming activity. The results of writing narratives as a swarm in a hybrid ecosystem are presented. It can be it is not yet simple enough for the intended book , but i feel i cannot cut away much more too. It is hard to present visual data in the papers, but i feel some of the evidence needs to be presented too.
Swarming to write narratives in hybrid ecosystem by It is the way how we can later connect it to the swarming behaviour (making and following the signal trace means basically that people notice ontodimensions and start accumulating/monitoring these ontodimensions). Swarming as a bio-metaphor for writing narratives Recent month i have been trying to write together with Mauri Kaipainen about the “Narrative ecology” course results. In principle, we come up with some theoretical baseline how writing narratives happens in new hybrid ecosystems, and how it may
Her investigations are related with our hybrid ecosystem studies in which we refer to certain swarming phenomena that take place as a result of something like social awareness and monitoring, social surveillance, and social navigation. I For example, swarming describes such non-coordinated aggregation behaviors, which become possible because of the signal traces left to the environment or read from other members in the system. Olga Levistova wants to deal in her master study the question: How does social surveillance become into participatory surveillance. I
I have been reading some articles of Jesper Hoffmeyer about the swarms, semiotics, semiosphere and ecologies and doing some thought connections with niches, affordances in new learning ecologies. The translation from cues/traces left in the environment and the relevant actions of the communities are explainable with the swarm-phenomena and with the general cultural semiosphere model. I believe that in new media communities the meaning/action based traces are left in the environment that determine the niches for these communities and also influence the niches of other communities.
Stimergy and swarming refers to an uncoordinated interaction of autonomous agents with the dynamic ontospace (b-d), and leaving feedback to this system (a) which at macro-level causes the emergence of global coherent behaviors such as collaborative agglomeration of stories. Stigmergic narrative action may initiate swarming phenomena in ontospace. As part of one paper An ontospacial representation of writing narratives in hybrid ecosystem I try to explain narrative behaviors in hybrid ecosystem using the ontospacial method. I
It is exactly that rapid-fire change of today's business climate that has shown the pressing need for a new framework, said Ken Thompson, a United Kingdom based expert in the area of bioteaming, swarming and virtual enterprise networks and teams, which draws heavily on the understanding of complex systems in nature. A new area of research called "complexity science" embraces the notion that an ant colony and the human brain, the stock market and Facebook all have something in common. All are complex systems, basically huge networks made up of individual components whose behavior is difficult

Bioteams and Swarms are acknowledged as radical innovations in the field of teams, communities and social networks. To help the adoption of this innovation globally we are looking to work with and develop a limited number of "Swarm Leaders" who will create exemplars of swarm and bioteam working within various markets, communities and geographies. The Role: What we expect from a Swarm Leader ? To develop, support and grow new swarm communities To support beta testing of new product releases and supporting tools
think the problems were face as a species are so complex, are so wicked that just a few Big Ideas won't do. We need a swarm of lots of Small Ideas small ideas. Educated people in business love The Big Idea. Generally this is a heroic idea that will change everything. I
Today I tried to map the design experiment findings from Hybrid narrative ecology on top of the foraging behavior in swarms. writing narratives as a swarm Picking up traces of other individuals of the swarm depends on analogy or closeness of the attractors to your own. Various Every time when individual starts some narratives it leaves a trace and focuses his own attention on certain features. This makes him accumulate more similar narratives until he becomes aware of the story. So,
