[FRIAM] OK. That's funny.

If -- big if -- I (we) were to write a paper about intentionality, the law
of short sighted striving, spandrels, unanticipated consequences that become
consequential, etc. as a kind of universal principle,  and perhaps have it
submitted to JASSS or Behavior and Evolution, THEN it would be lovely to
have a link to a visualization of the SoberSort to use as a rhetorical
starting point.  Your proper response should be, "You write the paper, I
will write the visualization."  I don't know how hard it would be to write
the visualization, but I sure would like to have my greasy little hands on
it as I start to write the paper.

Nick,

Running my Haskell model produces an output to the screen that one can view
as doing the thing we expect, but I doubt it will tell you anything you
didn't already know. It could have been written in many different ways, but
I choose to separate out the details of the implementation so that they
followed from the theory I laid out in the post. To the extent that I get a
vote on how others appreciate something, the thing I found meaningful about
this exercise is the development of the algorithms from reasoning about the
relations between the categories I outlined. The code itself meant as a
proof-of-concept.
