No leader? Now what?

The video explores the similarities between complex systems like stock markets and beehives, where no single entity is in charge. Researchers from various fields study how coordination emerges in these systems. Beehives serve as a model to understand asynchronous communication and adaptation. Human communication systems are also examined, focusing on how language-like systems develop for coordination. The goal is to map interactions and ensure robustness in complex systems.

How do the activities of individuals contribute to the behavior of a market?

What role does the queen bee play in a beehive?

In what ways do bees communicate within the hive?

What challenges do both bees and humans face in leaderless systems?

How does the research team study coordination in complex systems?
