Boids are elements that describe leaderless groups like flocks, herds or schools, according to the algorithm made in 1986 by Craig Reynolds. Boids have no mathematical equations describing their path: they move along individually, and as an emergent group steering clear of each other and moving in the direction everyone else is going.
Boids provide a good a way to describe natural compositions.
Below is an example of curves drawn with a combination of the Boids library and the Cornu spline library, a spiralling curve algorithm by Raph Levien.
