Swarm Theory's application
This may be stretching swarm theory further than it actually goes, but I shall apply it nonetheless.
I have just had the idea that the title of this blog is more fitting than I at first perceived. Originally it was just an intriguing bit of science that I had read up on and noticed every once in a while. It also became a sort of running inside joke between me and a friend. Now, however, I posit that this blog is bound by the theory of the swarm.
It is a loose binding, as I am the primary author at the moment and there are precious few posts by others, but it fits to a point.
All these various posts and bits and pieces of information go to make up a sort of swarm. They are varied and deal with several subjects. However, like a swarm of bees or otherwise, a dominant theme appears and best theory, idea, or decision comes to the forefront as more posts come to one or another point. If I can get a full, cohesive view of this beast I may see the best points and the surest truths appear. Or, at least, I may find the key turning point of my thoughts.
Whatever comes out of this it would seem that it comes by the swarm. As bees can find the best home for themselves by petition in a way, so also can this overarching theme be found by the vote of each singular item.
If this all seemed a whole lot of rambling, I'd advise you to find my other post treating swarm theory that provides a link to the National Geographic's article on the same. That article will be of much use to the first-time 'swarmer.'
