I would like to give them simple programs so they could generate any one of the 256 rules and see the consequences of them. I thought I would find several readily at hand, but what I did was a serious of sites which schooled me to write such a program myself. I am too old for that. Do you know of any I could email to my -children? It is the first time in years that I have actually caught their fancy with something, so it would really make me happy. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Nick <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Nick Thompson<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:ThompNickSon2@gmail.com"><span style='color:#0563C1'>ThompNickSon2@gmail.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/"><span style='color:#0563C1'>https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/</span></a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Friam <friam-bounces@redfish.com> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Angel Edward<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, October 24, 2021 5:36 PM<br><b>To:</b> The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <friam@redfish.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [FRIAM] stygmergy, CA's, and [biological] development<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In an affine space (vector space + point), an ant’s position is a point and a path or trail can be described by vectors.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>__________<br><br>Ed Angel<br><br>Founding Director, Art, Research, Technology and Science Laboratory (ARTS Lab)<br>Professor Emeritus of Computer Science, University of New Mexico<br><br>1017 Sierra Pinon<br>Santa Fe, NM 87501<br>505-984-0136 (home)<span class=apple-tab-span> </span> <span class=apple-tab-span> </span><a href="mailto:edward.angel@gmail.com">edward.angel@gmail.com</a><br>505-453-4944 (cell) <span class=apple-tab-span> </span><a href="http://www.cs.unm.edu/~angel">http://www.cs.unm.edu/~angel</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Oct 24, 2021, at 5:27 PM, Frank Wimberly <<a href="mailto:wimberly3@gmail.com">wimberly3@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Focusing the application of ant foraging, what is the scalar product of an ant?
