A Symmetric Bayesian Framework for Swarm Information Interaction and Collective Behavior Prediction

This paper studies the information interaction process in Bayesian theorem-based swarm systems. Through theoretical analysis, model construction, and simulation experiments, it explores how Bayesian decision-making utilizes information cascades to update its state step by step in group information interaction. The system operates within a theoretical framework where an underlying symmetry governs the dynamic combination of prior knowledge, neighbor information, and target guidance, leading to spontaneous aggregation behavior similar to biological swarms. A key embodiment of this symmetry is the action–reaction force parity between agents, which ensures local stability.The simulation results show that groups with different prior information exhibit a multi-stage convergence characteristic, which reveals that within each iteration step, the agent adheres to the rules for information-symmetric communication and interaction. This dynamic behavior is a true reflection of natural biological populations and provides theoretical support for practical applications such as traffic management and robot collaboration.

Abstract

This paper studies the information interaction process in Bayesian theorem-based swarm systems. Through theoretical analysis, model construction, and simulation experiments, it explores how Bayesian decision-making utilizes information cascades to update its state step by step in group information interaction. The system operates within a theoretical framework where an underlying symmetry governs the dynamic combination of prior knowledge, neighbor information, and target guidance, leading to spontaneous aggregation behavior similar to biological swarms. A key embodiment of this symmetry is the action–reaction force parity between agents, which ensures local stability.The simulation results show that groups with different prior information exhibit a multi-stage convergence characteristic, which reveals that within each iteration step, the agent adheres to the rules for information-symmetric communication and interaction. This dynamic behavior is a true reflection of natural biological populations and provides theoretical support for practical applications such as traffic management and robot collaboration.
