 | | In it, Holland explains how genetic algorithms can model adaptive agents (where the only interaction between agents is their breeding together to produce agents fit to a problem), and how the Echo model can be used to simulate populations of interacting agents (where agents interact, compete, breed, and merge into more complex agents). |
 | | The model is described in detail, but Holland can only speculate about its behaviour, because it has yet to be implemented, run, and studied. |
 | | I hope so, because Holland is very good at imparting understanding about the how and why of complex systems. |
