./logicaland v0.1 - participative global simulation

./logicaland is a project study for visualizing our world´s complex
economical, political and social systems. [./logicaland] tries to engage people into strategies of raising human sensibility and responsibility within the global networked society. the challenge is to develop ideas, tools and visualizations that fit the require ments of complex correlating systems and our world's complex participative environment.

v0.1 is the first attempt of a work in progress to realize a prototype of a global simulation that is to be controlled by a community of unlimited participants.

based on a scientific global world model of the mid-seventies, modified and hacked to fit our concepts, we developed a tool that facilitates people to take part in a simulation, unlike tools in the scientific field which are neither participative nor public.

the main idea is to provide a public web-based world-simulation within a participative environment, where all users have equal influence on the system. everyone with internet access should be able to participate in [./logicaland]. one user's influence on the system is minimal since it is a fraction of all participants' actions. only if a lot of users follow similar strategies, serious change can be achieved.
