>Subject: Free Complex Adaptive Systems Software
>From: Rob Goldstone <[log in to unmask]> (by way of Yaneer Bar-Yam,
> <[log in to unmask]>)
>
>Dear Dr. Bar-Yam,
>
>A student who attended your recent complexity workshop forwarded to me
>your e-mail about your forthcoming complexity newletter. I would love
>to be included on the mail list if possible ([log in to unmask]).
>
>Also, if you think it's appropriate for your newsletter, I would
>appreciate your announcing some free Mac software that I've written. I
>have recently been preparing software for my undergraduate course
>"Complex Adaptive Systems." The course deals with systems that evolve
>and adapt over time. Psychology, computer science, economics, biology,
>and neuroscience depend upon a deeper understanding of the mechanisms
>that govern adaptive systems. To this end, I have developed a number of
>simulations, of phenomena such as the growth of leaves on pine cones,
>the dynamics of predator-prey populations, and pattern formation in
>neural networks. (In addition, I hope to use the simulations for
>research on analogical reasoning - that's why some of the simulations
>seem to be redundant, at least at an abstract level). All of the
>simulations feature substantial amounts of real-time user control and
>interactivity.
>
>I would be very gratified to see these simulations being used, and as
>such, am offering them to your community. To find out more about the
>simulations, see:

>Thanks much!
>Rob
