Lévy walk is characterized by a flurry of short, localized movements interspersed with occasional, long leaps.

For living organisms, this is an optimal strategy for balancing exploitation of nearby resources with exploration of new opportunities.

OIST researchers used data from a match in the top Japanese football league, J-League , which included exact locations of each player.

The ability of individuals to coordinate and adapt their behavior to act as a unified agent in pursuit of a shared goal could also suggest that the principles of cooperation and efficiency resonate with us at a primal level.

Lévy walks have been observed in 50-million-year-old fossilized trails of sea urchins and in the movement patterns of contemporary hunter-gatherers.
