- * Decoupling geographical constraints from human mobility * 🌍🚶 How much of our movement is about human choice and how much is constrained by geography and the spatial layout of locations? Our paper (out in Nature Human Behavior) gives you a practical way to tell: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- By using a simple tool from physics—the pair distribution function—we separate the influence of geography (coastlines, rivers, road networks) from people’s mobility choices. Once you factor out the map, the remaining behaviour follows a striking, universal power law across five orders of magnitude.
