Hi, Glen, It was quite clear that CHAOS was a much more "powerful" program, but I got an error message when I went to download it, and about that time Steve's message came in. Miles has some passing familiarity with NetLogo and I don't think we need the power to demonstrate the essential point that a process can be fated to come out in a particular way even tho' none of the participants has any idea of what that fate is. How Sophocles-esque! But we do have the "Behe Problem". How does natural selection select for the genes that make the fate when the fate is a non-linear consequence of the genes. I suppose somebody has tried to select for different patterns as an outcome in a Net Logo model and see if selection could somehow dig down to the eight "genes" that make up the model. I used to think I understood how this was possible, but right now it seems like a hot potato again.
Maybe CHAOS would let me try that experiment.
