      It was pretty. A large school swimming slowly in circles under a bridge.

      A good example of emergent behavior arising out of collective action of cellular automata. Without any central control a beautiful pattern emerges as each fish acts on cues available to it.

      Just like the free-market.

      Tatyana,

      There is more beauty and wonder in understanding. To see more than with just the eyes is enthralling.

      Shannon, pleasure exceeds purely intellectual

      “You got beauty in my emergent behavior!”

      “And you got emergent behavior in my beauty!”

      “Hey! They taste great together…”
