The most familiar single example of an autonomous agent, to you at least, is the one staring at this page. You, dear reader, with your behavior on any particular day defined by a complex mix of biology, psychology, and the comfortableness of your footwear, are an autonomous object, creating interesting patterns in the data you create. Most everything you do these days leaves a data trail: every purchase you make, every point you earn on your store card, every link you click, and every journey you take.

To familiarize you with the concept of autonomy and the emergent complexity of this breed of object, we’ll play one of the early parlor games of computer science: cellular automata.

In the 1970s, the field of computer science was obsessed with cellular automata (CA). Python tutorial. Rhino Python Tutorials – Plethora Project. Plethora-Project.com is an initiative to accelerate computational literacy in the frame of architecture and design. It aligns with the "show me your screens" motto of the TopLap live-coding group attempting to get rid of Obscurantism in digital design.
