ncNet03

It is a 3D representation of a 1500 node network. I use the term network in a very abstract sense: a set of objects with a relation between any two objects. I am using 3D graphicss so that I can see what is happening inside the network in "real" time. What I'm finding is that there is nothing that cannot be represented in this way and that starting with a random set and some relation a very distinctive pattern occurs. i.e. things at a global level don't need to have a cause.

At the local level cause and effect work just like they always have. It is sort of good idea to know that if you walk in front of a moving car you will get hit.
