Summary:
Although dynamical order generated from local interactions among self-propelled entities, each of which has intrinsic property and internal state, is widely observed in nature and social systems, its mechanism is not yet clearly understood. To address this problem, we draw inspiration from the formation and collapse dynamics of friendship in human society. Although each individual has a different character, people interact with each other by properly balancing their self-assertion and compromise, consequently leading to the emergence of dynamical order. We express the characters of individuals using "phases" and propose a simple model in which the position and phase of each individual are adjusted on the basis of the phase difference and distance from the other individuals. Simulation results showed that various dynamic patterns emerge via changes to a small number of parameters.
