Complex Adaptive Systems

Forty-two agent-based models where simple local rules give rise to startling global order

42 interactive demonstrations
Each demo below is a miniature universe of autonomous agents following local rules — no central controller, no global plan. Watch flocks condense out of noise, prices oscillate without a market-maker, cooperation spread across hostile lattices, and cities self-segregate from gentle preferences. The whole is richer than any single agent knows.
