[FRIAM] Collective Stigmergic Nouns

When/how does a herd become a pack become a flock become a school become
a mob?  What are their distinguishing modes?  What are the units/metrics
of their "stigmergic fields"?

And what was today's Capitol Mob's "mission", it would seem to be the
superposition of many related missions, but with significant entrainment
and coupling between the collective behaviors?    I'd guess the families
with kids in strollers weren't quite on the same page as those with
bargain tactical gear and surely Trump's openly proud, Proud Boys. "...
mother who has raised her son so well" .
