EH11 - Chaos and Order - Rules of the Game

SoEric Ecklund presents the application of chaos theory to economics. Dr. Lenny applies the same theory in action to science in natural resource fields.
SoThe idea that order comes spontaneously from chaos (after order) is the basis of both science (big bang) and religion (god created). ONRRI Science Zones will have the latitude to pursue the direction that the zone investigation takes - the rules, the metrix scoring and the levels are coming together - the best games are those with the simple directions. If the new order is not forced, but true - it should hold for quite a while until new conditions force it's eventual decay. The decision on which level to play the game will be crucial - the morphing occurs with the mixing of the talent pool - gradually, the rise through the ranks will provide motivation through competition, and wealth through cooperation. Let the games begin. (No - still self -assembling)
GoEmbedded in the rules will be the peter-minus-one (P-1) principle. Once somebody peters out - they may decend to their prior successful level and become npc - a non-playing character or functionary. Functionary characters do not score points - they get paid honest wages for the technical support they can provide to scientists - and dealing with functionaries is a very important metric in the scoring system.
