Boids + Perception Delay

Emergent flocking behavior with temporal dynamics

Controls

Number of Boids: 100

Delay Mode

Base Delay: 5

Amplitude/Range: 10

Frequency: 0.01

• Blue triangles: Current positions

• Red dots: Perceived positions

Boids demonstrate emergent flocking through simple rules: alignment, cohesion, and separation.

Perception delay is between actual and perceived positions. Negative delays allow anticipatory behavior. Dynamic modes introduce temporal complexity seen in natural systems.
