Imagine an agent-based model where there are two worlds, D and H, each with their unique constraints. Then there are tactics that agents G or M can execute. These tactics are a little different for G and M's unique capabilities, as they are for hundreds of millions of other agents. The G and M agents will load up different tactic decks that will optimize for hazards in worlds D and H in different ways. I can't speak for the G agent, but the M agent finds the tactics he can load to function in the H world more interesting than the ones in the D world. But M will go ahead and load and elaborate the D tactics if push comes to shove. M would rather not waste cycles and memory on the D deck. ________________________________ From: Friam <friam-boun...@redfish.com> on behalf of Steven A Smith <sasm...@swcp.com> Sent: Monday, November 7, 2016 6:28:27 PM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Trump Is Just A Normal Polling Error Behind Clinton | FiveThirtyEight This probably reflects my naivete, but I'm not sure I understand why either of you (Marcus or Glen) expect to need to do significantly more "code switching" than you probably already do to bridge different communities or aspect of your life? Are you suggesting that there will be a new system in place that you either feel a need (or requirement) to "game" through some form of duplicity? I agree with (you) Glen that it can be *heady* to have the opportunity (and maybe compulsion?) to game a system, but maybe I'm just getting too old to enjoy it properly?
