Species principle: Swarm Surge
Surge with pressure.
Momentum can begin as pressure, then become collective force.
Desert Locusts can shift from solitary to gregarious phases and form migrating swarms when conditions promote population growth.
Species principle: Wave-Line Timing
Read the wave.
Rhythm becomes survival when movement reads the water's pulse.
Sanderlings run along shorelines, chasing receding waves to feed and retreating as surf comes back.
Species principle: Colony Roof
Share the roof.
Community becomes architecture when many small efforts lock together.
Sociable Weavers build enormous communal nests that can house many birds and provide insulation, chambers, and long-term colony shelter.
