The work attempts to find ways and methodologies to observe the collective intelligence of trees, insects, spiders and other manifestations of emergence in natural ecologies. The subject of observation is a dense group of deodar trees. The inquiry was to map this network of trees and look at it mathematically and from a network theory perspective. The work also considers colonisation, politics and power in the Himalayan village of Gunehar.
