The Royal Laboratory

Four small experiments. Each is a finger pointing at the same moon.

Network with vs without a focal queen
Citizens80
Order parameter (R)
0.000

R approaches 1 when the system converges on one direction; near 0 it is noise. Toggle the queen and watch coherence collapse.

This is a Vicsek-style alignment model with an added focal field. The queen is a single weak attractor — yet she is the difference between order and drift.
