Self-Driven Particle Model

Learn how simple rule-driven dynamical systems can produce complex dynamical behavior, like 2nd order phase transitions, criticality and clustering. This simulation will guide you through a tutorial that introduces the model incrementally and depicts the computation of the order parameter, critical parameter and critical exponent.
