A number of agents can arrange themselves equidistantly in a row via a sequence of adjustments, based on a simple "local" interaction. The convergence of the configuration to the desired one is exponentially fast. A similarity is shown between this phenomenon and the dynamics of pulse propagation along a distributed RC line, and a conjecture is made concerning the evolution of a similar system with a probabilistic rule of behavior.
