public class HyperModel
extends SimModelImpl

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 Graphicaly the display shows cells activating each other, and displays existing hypercycles when stopped or paused.

buildModel

public void buildModel()

begin

public void begin()

Description copied from interface: SimModel

Begins a simulation run. All initialization, building the model, diplay, etc. should take place here. This method is called whenever the start button (or the step button if the run has not yet begun) is clicked. If running in batch mode this is called to kick off a new simulation run.

setup

public void setup()

Description copied from interface: SimModel

Prepares a model for a new run, typically by deallocating objects or setting them to some reasonable default. Called whenever the setup button is clicked or if operating in batch mode whenever a single run has ended in preparation for the next. Also called when the model is first loaded.

getInitParam

public java.lang.String[] getInitParam()

Description copied from interface: SimModel

Gets the names of the initial model parameters to set. These names must have get and set methods supplied by the model. For example, for the parameter maxAge, the model must have getMaxAge and setMaxAge methods.

Returns:

a String[] of the initial parameter names

getSchedule

public Schedule getSchedule()

Description copied from interface: SimModel

Gets the Schedule created by the model.

Returns:

the schedule created by the model

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from interface: SimModel

Gets the name of the model/simulation.

Returns:

the name of the model/simulation

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
