^Yeah, so I was going through the library, looking up and down
the stacks to see what caught my eye and stumbled upon one of my
"Leaky Triangle" idea that I started putting my thoughts of on
http://system-of-systems.com - and there it was: one of my leaky
triangles, just sitting on the front cover of this 1200 page
behemoth by Steven Wolfram - yeah the guy behind Wolfram|Alpha -
and was like "doh!" - someone way smarter than me beat me to it!
And thank goodness. While I suspect I'll end up disagreeing with
the randomness side (to me randomness is the pattern that best
describes what things look like when we don't understand them -
and things we don't understand often looks alike) - but his
stuff on Cellular Automata will keep me busy til I get through
this monster of a book.
Do I expect him to have "the answers" I was looking for? Nope.
But I expect he'll at least give me something to work from,
someone who is perhaps just as nutty as me but with far far more
genius than I'll ever have.^
