Abstract
Following the introduction to a range of physical phenomena in the last chapter, this chapter describes a number of algorithms which are metaphorically inspired by these. As was the case with biologically inspired algorithms, the degree of faithfulness of each of these metaphors to the original natural process varies, and multiple algorithms could be devised depending on which aspect of the underlying phenomenon is chosen.
