Of repulsion (nr 0), the individual i only reacts with respect to them. As a result, the desired direction wi(t + ) = wr(t + ) can be quantified from EPZ004777 chemical information equation (1) and equation (2). If there is no individual in the zone of repulsion, then the desired direction will be defined based on neighbors in zone of orientation and attraction (w i (t + ) = 1 ?(w o (t + ) + w a (t + ))). wo(t + ) and wa(t + ) can be quanti2 fied from equation (3) and equation (4).w o (t + ) =j i nanod j (t ) d j (t ) r ij (t ) r ij (t ) (4) (3)j=w a (t + ) =Considering the desired direction vector at each time step, if wi(t + ) is less than maximum turning rate , then di(t + ) = wi(t + ). On the other hand, if desired direction vector exceeds the maximum rate, then the individual rotates by angle of ?towards the desired direction. Our framework generalizes the method presented by Akinori Baba and coworkers13,47 and constructed the strategy to estimate the free energy landscape for a group of N agents moving in a three-dimensional space. In the following, we provide a brief overview of the procedure we used to identify and extract the states from time series of agents in the group. First, we divide the time series containing the location of all the agents denoted by r(t) to sub-intervals centered at time tc with time window [t c – /2, t c + /2], where is the preferential time scale (Fig. 1a). In the next step, we construct the probability density function of the location of all the agents in the group corresponding to each sub-interval (i.e. pi) and based on that we find cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the agents’ location in the space. We also estimate the CDF corresponding to the position for the entire group through the whole time in the same way. Based on Kantrovitch distance dK we compare the CDF of sub-intervals with whole time series CDF and cluster the sub-intervals based on the similarities (equation (5))58.d K pi p j =Free energy landscape.()- – (pi (r ) – p j (r ) ) dr drr(5)We consider each of the clusters as a spatio-temporal state for the group dynamics (Fig. 1b). We calculate the escape time of each state, meaning the time between when the system enters and leaves each cluster. We calculate the residential probability Pi of the ith state and transition probabilities Pij from the ith state to the jth state (Fig. 1c). Based on these probabilities, we estimate the free energy landscape by quantifying the energy level in each state (Fi) from equation (6) and energy barrier for the group while evolving from state i to state j (Fij) from equation (7) 47.F i = – kB T ln(Pi ) h F ij = – kB T ln Pij kB T (6)(7)In equation (6) and (7), symbol kB represents Boltzman constant. Symbols h and T are Plank constant and temperature, respectively. Based on these energy levels we can estimate the free energy landscape of the group evolving between different states. a system38,48,59.
