@bnut BAH! The sticky edges were due entirely to a bug in my projection code. The box size is just slightly less than 1 so that it fits in my collision detection grid and when projecting z, I failed also to project x and y. Now they no longer stick which leaves the cube edges somewhat less visible.
Here's a changing projection shape.

I let the simulation run for several minutes before recording. The edges do appear to be a bit sticky causing the flocks have a bias to moving parallel to them, but particles are only briefly trapped there before being pulled away.

The particles try to move in 3-D, but then their position is constrained so that z = abs(x).
Still seems to work with this particular set of forces, though it's not all that easy to see in this low-res, short animation.

Meanwhile, there are teams of bees out in the backyard scoping our spare beekeeping gear looking for new housing. Swarm season typically doesn't happen until late February. Southern California. Wildfire weather, high winds, winter. (ostensibly, it's winter) #beekeeping #swarming
...write a work breakdown structure that can be used during development (e.g., in #Confluence). Additionally, this breakdown provides opportunities for #swarming and #pairing, which can actually help you complete a planned user story within an iteration.
What value do you see in estimating your work?
#avivasolutions #lessonslearned #bestpractices #softwaredevelopment
... always guarantee my availability, I avoid working on anything with a strict deadline (if possible). However, there's almost always something technical I can contribute to, whether it's identifying a #refactoring opportunity, running #proofofconcepts, or working on the foundation of the codebase. I also enjoy #swarming on an existing change with the rest of the team. In short, plenty of chances for me to do what I love.
How do you prioritize your work and avoid getting stressed?
Trial dates set for 4 teens accused in fatal swarming of Toronto homeless man
Three of the girls are charged with second-degree murder and one with manslaughter in the death of Kenneth Lee.

Unter strenger Polizeibewachung gab es drei Durchgänge #swarming: Auf Signal der Beamten Fahrbahn betreten und vier Ampelphasen auf der Fußgängerfurt demonstrieren.
Bunt, fröhlich und laut war unser Protest. Viele wünschen sich hier Grünflächen und wieder einen #Stadtkanal anstelle der menschenfeindlichen #Asphaltschneise.
Wir freuen uns jedenfalls auf die Groß-Kundgebung

Nouvelle semaine, nouvel essaim ! C'est la saison, si vous en voyez dans la rue ou à la campagne, appelez une apicultrice ou un apiculteur, s'il n'y en a pas , ne faites rien, n'y touchez pas, elles partiront seules pour leur nouvelle demeure choisie après discussions et congrès #beekeeping #abeilles #bees #swarming
In the tabby's mind were visions of silver bugs that emerged from the cover of night's shadows. They lashed a purple ball with strings of light, each strike sent chunks everywhere then eventually revealed an angry orange glow. Larger bugs ventured into the mess where Stacey the cat witnessed them take in small pieces of shiny and ignored the unshiny bits. Silver bugs dove in and out of the glow like ants #swarming over candy on summer pavement. 1/x

Service Post Tagesablauf:
Ab 8Uhr geht das #swarming von der Bockenheimer Warte aus los.
Außerdem startet um 8Uhr die Kundgebung am #Depot Gutleut
Von da laufen wir ab 11Uhr mit den Beschäftigten im Sternmarsch zum Römer.
Ab 12Uhr ist dann #Klimastreik auf dem Römer.
In the context of #customersupport and with #collaboration being at the core of #swarming it is clear that there is a need for smart connections across complex landscapes. Swarming brings this much needed connectedness to the mix. In this #Forbes article, Stefan Steinle talks about how #SAP uses AI-powered swarming to renew and scale our customer support offerings: https://www.forbes.com/sites/sap/2023/12/15/ai-powered-swarming-in-customer-support/

Tiny Swarming Spacecraft Could Establish Communications with Proxima Centauri
There are currently two major projects attempting to realize the technology, including Breakthrough Starshot and Project Lyra – which aim to reach Alpha Centauri 20 years after launch and catch up to ‘Oumuamua (respectively).

@pmcarlton Looks like a form of swarming in C. elegans, see for example:
"A hub-and-spoke circuit drives pheromone attraction and social behaviour in C. elegans" by Macosko et al. (@CoriBargmann 's lab)
