Chaos (derived from the Ancient Greek Χάος, Chaos) typically means a state lacking order or predictability. In ancient Greece, it meant the initial state of the universe, and, by extension, space, darkness, or an abyss (the antithetical concept was cosmos). In modern English, it is used in classical studies with this original meaning; in mathematics and science to refer to a very specific kind of unpredictability; and informally to mean a state of confusion. In popular culture, the word can occur with all three meanings.

NOT fractals or chaos theory, what theory explains group behavior based on tiny individual decisions?
Q. I'm looking for info but can't remember the name for this idea about the seeming intelligence of a large group of individual's behavior can be understood by looking at each individual's decision. I think it dovetails into fractal study, chaos theory and some Rupert Sheldrake ideas. Thanks for help, especially links!

A. Check out Philip Zimbardo, one of the pioneers of group behavior study.
