Density regulation in strictly metric-free swarms

There is now experimental evidence that nearest-neighbour interactions in flocks of birds are metric free , i.e. they have no characteristic interaction length scale. However, models that involve interactions between neighbours that are assigned topologically are naturally invariant under spatial ex...
