I suppose if work/life lasts long enough, folks will identify ways to avoid the attractors. A tabu search needs a global data structure to be most efficient. In other words, workers need some literacy.
Yes, except there are no optima other than uniqueness. Even _if_ a bunch is on an attractor, as long as your path around it is distinct from another's path around it, you're good. But you're right that the individuals need some literacy. You have to be able to locally compare your path to your neighbors and tell whether or not your path is unique in any sense. I'll admit that's more difficult than it seems, depending on one's ability to navigate the concrete ←→ abstract spectrum. The more abstract one's thinking, the more difficult it will be to find a unique path. Concreteness is bliss. -- ☣ glen ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
