self-organising or self directed?
"self-organising" suggests elements, or nodes, which probably is understood as people
multi-agent modelling best describes the dynamics, and flocking is a good instance
there is no "flock" in individual bird movement, so there is no "we" in straight self-organising
So should we rename this self directed?
I would rather think of "self-organizing" as part of such people centered concepts as "crowd sourcing" and independent 'wisdom circles' of folks voluntarily gathered to resolve a specific problem or problems.
