Physicist bets Landau-style heuristics can decode agent swarm behavior
Hidenori8Tanaka · x · 2026-09-10
Hidenori8Tanaka and Simon Vt discuss applying statistical physics to multi-agent systems. Tanaka's key question: will macroscopic control variables emerge that can monitor and steer swarms of agents? Simon intuitively believes Landau-Lifshitz-style heuristics and scaling laws could help understand agent collectives.
