Turtles, Termites, and Traffic Jams: Explorations in Massively Parallel Microworlds (Complex Adaptive Systems)

by Mitchel Resnick

Hardcover Paperback

"Turtles, Termites, and Traffic Jams" is a book that explores complex adaptive systems through the use of massively parallel microworlds. Author Mitchel Resnick explores the ways in which seemingly simple interactions between individuals and their environment can cause complex and often unpredictable behavior. Through a series of simulations that mimic the behavior of turtles, termites, and traffic, Resnick argues that these systems are not random but rather the result of rules that have been created and followed by individuals over time. With careful analysis, researchers can gain a deeper understanding of these systems and use that knowledge to predict and manage them more effectively.
