This study investigates the deterministic walks in scaling mobility patterns and collective movements in biological and human behavior. The model developed aligns with empirical results and provides insights into the optimization of searches and the emergence of ordered collective movements.

Our model • Start point: • seeking advantage • least action • Based on deterministic walks
Basic Rules • One or several walkers moving on 2D lattices • The resource of each position can slowly recover • Walkers exhaust the resource of their occupied position, and jump to the nearest and richest position
Main Parameters • M: number of walkers, denotes the group size • N: size of lattice • r = MV/N^2, denotes the degree of resource richness • V: the maximum value of the resource in a lattice
Typical trajectories • M = 100 • N = 500 • Move 5000 steps
Collective Movements Just like the marching bands of locust Two movies
Evolution of averaged ordering parameter The absence of food leads to the collective movements
Notice • There is not any directly interactions between individuals • Different with most of the models for collective movements
Conclusions • Our model starts from two universal properties of biological behavior • Our model can generate power-law flight length distribution with exponent -1.6 to -3.0, in agreement with empirical results • Around the critical point, our model generates ordered collective movements of walkers with a quasi-periodic synchronization of walkers' directions. • Our findings provide a bridge to connect the individual scaling mobilitypatterns and the ordered collective movements
