 icsek et al. [ 13] h ave shown that, in two dimensions, the effect of noise on swarm- ing behaviour of ‘self-propelled particles’ is analogous to the effect of temperature on the spins of a magnetic material. In fact, this system is technically equivalent to a Heisenberg magnet, in which the spins can point in any direction in the xy plane  [13, 14].  That is to say, just as heating the mag- net brings about a critical phase transition from a magnetically ordered to a magneti
