Since folks got interested, I've added a doc/ subdirectory (on the "intern" branch) with a PDF defining my karmic social capital mathematically. It is this definition which is faithfully computed both in Clojure and Haskell.
I've also added a LICENSE file basically stating that this research is to appear in the proceedings of the European Conference on Complex Systems, Lisbon, September 2010, and should be treated as unpublished research with the paper in copyright but the code under GPL. I.e. if you want to experiment with the definition itself, in addition to making it compute in Haskell, please let me know -- we're always glad to collaborate. The purpose to implement it in a functional language, besides loathing all others, is to enable quick experimentation with the karmic rewards, then running the whole world simulation and seeing who accumulates more social capital. It can also be used in a machine learning approach where it's made to fit an existing ranking function. Thus this computation has to be as fast as possible. -- Alexy _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
