Read on Hacker News…l.northwestern.edu/netlogo/ It's a decentralized version of logo, where you can control multiple turtles at once. It's useful in simulating distributed systems, such as "turtles, termites, and traffic jams." There's a book by Mitchel Resnick by the same name. http://books.google.com/books?id=K8P1rX8T4kYC&dq=turtles... If you get a chance, run some of the simulations on their demo page. They're available as java applets. It's pretty amazing to see complex patterns stem from simple interactions, also a theme of Wolfram.
