So sorry, my love but this is not exactly what you requested. I've thought a lot about this and I'm in trouble, so let's explain what is the trouble Im facing. I've seen this pattern, the pattern that some complex systems seem to follow... You see, complex systems are systems composed by many many many similar agents that interact between each other. Right? Imagine, each agent as a state machine... ok, sorry, I know you don't know what a state machine is, so let's try to explain what it is... we use them A LOT! A state machine is a THING, and that thing has a state. State can be anything, like 1 or 0, the most common for computers which use a lot of them. But it can be "happy" (like a person) or "excited" (like a neuron). The state of the machines change, that's obvious. But how does it change? That's what makes every state machine different. A state machine (like a transistor, a human or a neuron) changes its own state dependin...
