My wife found an excellent book that appears to have a number of interesting connections to MOTH, NetLogo implementations, and emergent properties of stochastic systems: "Laws of the Game: How the Principles of Nature Govern Chance" by Manfred Eigen and Ruthild Winkler. The original German ISBN: 0-394-41806-9, now 0-06-090971-4. It's vintage 1981 but the principles are remarkably current. I've got one or ten questions related to this I'd like to ask at the FRIAM meeting tomorrow. Of course you haven't had time to read this, so I'll bring it along because it's very well illustrated.
