Edited a quotation: “~~The elephant must not marry the mouse!~~How many cousins are worth one brother?”~~an auntie~~Nela, explaining Hamilton's Rule to Ashoke just before he betrays her.

Added a theme: the mathematics of collectives: Nela studies this subject, and Jackson helps her discover a new fact about pursuit and cohesion in birds' flocking behavior ---each bird only follows the bird in front of it, although they appear to be engaged in a complicated group choreography. In the novel, who follows who -or what- is a central metaphor.
marked the description of the mathematics of collectives as not a spoiler
