Self-organization Simulation Applied to Migration across a Peaceful Border | Advances in Research

Migration across a shared border between two organisations, states, or countries has been studied using self-organization using simple dynamic rules. The migrant's journey and final destination are depicted. There were two types of artefacts in the system. One set is on one side of the dividing line. One hand, the right, is thought to be the superior entity. That is, it has a good government and a solid economy. The entity on the left is significantly different in terms of government and economy. The artefacts on each side are divided into two classes. Strong and weak are the terms used to describe the two categories. The strong represent government, the wealthy or elite represent the elite, and the poor represent the general public. The artefacts are distributed randomly in this two-dimensional square-bounded region at first, and then allowed to interact dynamically for a number of iterations. The attractive or repulsive forces among all of the particles as a group can be described and modified to study the resulting configuration from the dynamics. To see how self-organization relates to these situations, four experiments were performed. In Experiment 1, only the object-to-object forces are involved during migration. The principle of jobs was introduced in Experiment 2. An unemployed object was given the ability to move faster than an employed object, allowing the unemployed to move more freely. The rate of work on the right side is significantly higher than on the left. Experiment 3 investigates the effect of switching one of the powers from repelling to attracting. Experiment 3 is identical to Experiment 2, with the exception that it went through twice as many iterations. On the right side, Experiment 4 produced job centres. Left-side migrants who came close enough to a centre were given jobs at these centres. If the migrant on the left side got a job in the middle, he or she did not shift for the rest of the simulation. There was no reason for a migrant to stay in Experiments 1 and 2, so the migrant crossed the border back and forth. Experiment 4 assumed that the work offered an opportunity for the migrant to stay in one place. As a result, migrant clusters developed around job centres.
