Simulations of the world made in emoji ;)


Simulating the World is a sequel of sorts to a previous project by Case, called Parable of the Polygons, an array of triangles and squares that simulate major social problems, like discrimination and diversity.



As it turns out, forest firefighters already use computer simulations to tackle wildfires, in real time! And it’s not just firefighters. With the help of simulations, a growing group of scientists from different disciplines have discovered a few strange things about the systems of our world.





 "After I released Parable, everyone wanted to add another 'race' of shapes, or have a wider range of 'shapism,' or model other social/economic institutions," Case says.

"At the time, all they could do was fiddle with a couple sliders. But it got me thinking, what if people could edit everything in a simulation, without needing to touch the code? What if everyone could easily read and write in complex systems?"

 First, emergence: complex systems can arise from simple rules. This is how a few chess rules can give us infinite play, and how these tiny emoji sims can capture real complexity.

Second, all complex systems have things in common. So in a way... Financial crises are like forest fires. Terrorist groups are like termite colonies. Pandemics are like a GIF people won't stop spreading. Since you can learn a few core lessons about all systems from any system, let’s stick with our forest sim, and add one more rule:



Trees sometimes get hit by lightning & catch on fire.



Sims can help explain a system, but they're also great for exploring systems. Experimentation. Asking, “what if?

For example, what do you think would happen now, if you increased tree growth? (empty→🌲) What behavior would emerge? Don’t worry, you're not being judged or graded, this is only for you to express your prediction:



A Simulation With A Bunch Of Sick People

Here they demonstrate the Ratio and Recovery of People from sick. The Balance of this propostion in nature.
Likewise they make their point as Simulation with Bunch of Whatever we want using simple Grid and Emoji ;)


And now, you get to run that experiment.
