[FRIAM] MoltBook

[Steve Smith]

In a lame attempt to relight a flickering flame here:

The whole ClawdBot/MoltBook thing has come into my awareness in the last 
few days and I suspect some folks here with similar histories to my own 
(specifically the Core Wars <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_War>, 
Tierra <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tierra_(computer_simulation)>, 
ALife <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_artificial_life>, early 
Social-Media era) might be similarly fascinated to see such experiments 
trying to jump the sides of their cage and eat their keepers?

         - nod to JRR Martin and Guerin's favorite NetLogo Ant-ABM demos
    and Marcus/Glen's SWARM-roots.
