@ArthurPSmith: Swarm behavior as described in the Wiki article is something in which all entities can engage. Robots can engage in swarm behavior. On the other hand "collective behavior" subclasses "social behavior" is a "biological process". ChristianKl (✉) 14:50, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- You're right, Q2548752 seems to have a rather restricted definition. However, the term "collective behavior" is certainly used more generically than that these days. Not sure what's the best solution here. Maybe just subclass behavior (Q9332)? But even that is described as a biological process. Is there something narrower than activity (Q1914636) that's appropriate for this? ArthurPSmith (talk) 15:00, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- After looking more into it I moved the statements that make behavior (Q9332) animal behavior (GND/Go) over to animal behaviour (Q2990593). ChristianKl (✉) 15:38, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
- w:Swarm behaviour: By extension, the term swarm is applied also to inanimate entities which exhibit parallel behaviours, as in a robot swarm, an earthquake swarm, or a swarm of stars. swarm behaviour (Q14915018) - for inanimate objects or living objects? "Parallel behaviour" is collective behavior (Q2548752)? --Fractaler (talk) 08:14, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
