Overview
- Uses a single relatively simple computational model to investigate consensus
- Explores the different complexities in time and network topology
- Features criticality and phase transition to explain consensus and neuronal avalanches
- Demonstrates the sensitivity of consensus to the destabilizing influence of zealots
- Explains how the dynamic behavior of herds and flocks depend on information transfer
- Insightfully overviews recent tools and their uses may serve as an introduction and curriculum guide in related courses
