We investigate the collective dynamics of multi-agent systems in two- and three-dimensional environments generated by minimizing discrete Ricci curvature with local and non-local interaction neighbourhoods. We find that even a single effective topological neighbour suffices for significant order in a system with non-local topological interactions. We also explore topological information flow patterns and clustering dynamics using Hodge spectral entropy and mean Forman–Ricci curvature.
