public class HyperCell
extends DefaultDrawableNode
implements CustomProbeable

A pseudo-agent class for the hypercycles simulation. A Hypercell is essentially a cell on a 2D grid that contains the skills. Has methods for adding and deleting skills. Extends AbstractNode in order to track the link between this HyperCell when it activates or is activated by another HyperCell. An implementation of the simulation described in John Padgett's "The Emergence of Simple Ecologies of Skill: A Hypercycle Approach to Economic Organization" in _The Economy as an Evolving Complex System II_, Eds. Arthur, Durlauf, and Lane. SFI Studies in the Sciences of Complexity, Vol. XXVII, Addison-Wesley, 1997, pp. 199-221. Thanks to John Padgett for allowing us to include it here. jpadgett@midway.uchicago.edu

Method Detail

getSkills

public java.lang.String getSkills()

getSkillSet

public java.lang.Object[] getSkillSet()

addSkill

public void addSkill(Skill skill)

removeSkill

public boolean removeSkill(int skill)

activate

public int activate(int targetSkill)

Returns the the int value of the activated skill - i.e. 1 activates 2, so return 2 etc. or returns -1 if no activation

getLocation

public java.lang.String getLocation()

setLocation

public void setLocation(float x,
                        float y)

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

contains

public boolean contains(java.lang.Integer skill)

draw

public void draw(SimGraphics g)

Description copied from interface: Drawable2DGridNode

Draws this Drawable2DGridNode.

Specified by:

draw in interface Drawable2DGridNode

Specified by:

draw in interface NonGridDrawable

Overrides:

draw in class DefaultDrawableNode

Parameters:

g - the SimGraphics object used for drawing

getProbedProperties

public java.lang.String[] getProbedProperties()

Description copied from interface: CustomProbeable

Gets the names of the properties that are allowed to be probed. The property names returned by this method should be reflect the accessor and mutator method names. For example, given getAge and setAge, an appropriate property name would be Age.

Specified by:

getProbedProperties in interface CustomProbeable

Returns:

an array of the property names.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
