Definition

Behaviour is The range of actions and mannerisms made by individuals, organisms, systems, or artificial entities in conjunction with themselves or their environment, which includes the other systems or organisms around as well as the (inanimate) physical environment (Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior)
