Abstract
An archetype model for the collective displacements of self-driven individuals, aimed to describe the dynamic of flocking behavior among living things, is presented and studied. Processes such as growth, death, survival, self-propagation, and competition are considered. It is shown that systems ruled by the model self-organize into a critical state exhibiting power-law behavior in both the distribution of population avalanches and the spatial correlation between individuals.Keywords
