self-organization in hanoi traffic

hanoi, vietnam, 24feb2009. this is a nice example of self-organization as described by complexity theory. there are no fixed "top-down" laws (i.e. traffic lights), and yet the incredible traffic flows continuously. in complexity terms, the collective motion emerges from the multiple local interactions between the "agents" (drivers and pedestrians), mediated by horn sounds, eye contact, body gestures etc.
