Abstract

[The main assumption of behaviourism is that any animal behaviour can be controlled by attractants and repellents. It is quite true just for bacteria, but evidently it is untrue for swarms. The matter is that any swarm with a coordination of its members can behave according to an individual-collective duality—it means, it can perform only one action or many concurrent actions simultaneously and there is a fundamental uncertainty which mode will by chosen by the swarm right now (to behave as a big individual or a collective of distributed members).]
