Abstract
A synergetic model permitting one to represent modes of motion of a group of living organisms is constructed. It is demonstrated that the translational motion is observed when the internal state parameter exceeds the critical value. The velocity distribution the form of which is determined by the relationship of the intensities of stochastic sources is retrieved.
