[./logicaland]
is a project study for visualizing our world's complex economical,
political and social systems.
This project 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 requirements of
complex correlating systems and our world's complex participative
environment.
Based on a scientific
global world model of the mid-seventies, we developed a tool that
facilitates people to take part in a simulation.
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.
[./logicaland] v0.1
is a work in progress, a prototype of a global simulation that is to be
controlled by a community of unlimited participants.
We invite users all
over the world to take part in dealing with global interrelationships by
contributing to logicaland's simulation.
