... a programmable modeling environment for exploring the workings of
decentralized systems -- systems that are organized without an organizer,
coordinated without a coordinator ... you can model (and gain insights into)
many real-life phenomena, such as bird flocks, traffic jams, ant colonies,
and market economies
I've been arguing on the Victorian teachers IT list recently that this is
the sort of thing that computers ought to be used for in schools, to add
something unique and valuable to the curriculum
