Dynamic collectives are discrete dual-aspect phenomena: they may present themselves from different viewspoints as either objects or events, and they arise from the collective action of groups of individual elements. In this paper we outline a formal theory of dynamic collectives and discuss their relevance to a range of GIScience concerns, including the identities and lifestyles of geographical entities, the architecture of information systems, and the relation between information systems and modelling systems.
