“According to Aristotle, the hierarchy of human purposes aim at eudaimonia as the highest, most inclusive end. This is the end to which everyone in fact aims. Further, it is the only end towards which it is worth undertaking a means. Eudaimonia is constituted, according to Aristotle, not by honor, or wealth, or power, but by rational activity in accordance with virtù over a complete life. Such activity manifests the virtues of character, including, honesty, pride, friendliness, and wittiness; the intellectual virtues, such as rationality in judgment; and non-sacrificial (i.e. mutually beneficial) friendships and scientific knowledge (knowledge of things that are fundamental and/or unchanging is the best).”//wiki::eudaimonia

Soziologie + Informatik = Sozionik.

Sugarscape is not a computer game. It is an ‘artificially intelligent agent-based social simulation’.

The Sugarscape seeks to provide to provide a laboratory to Social Science researchers through its model of an artificial society.

” “Sugarscape”, die “Zuckerwelt“, ist eine Erfindung der amerikanischen Wissenschaftler Joshua M. Epstein und Robert Axtell. In einem computeranimierten Quadrat von 50 mal 50 Feldern lassen sie eine Reihe virtueller “Agenten” herumspazieren, die, je nach “Szenario”, mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften bzw. Verhaltensweisen ausgestattet sind. Aus dem beobachteten Verhalten der Agenten erhoffen sich die “Götter der Zuckerwelt” Erkenntnisse über das reale Verhalten von gesellschaftlichen Gruppen bzw. ganzen Sozietäten.”

Sozionik

“Sozionik ist ein neues Forschungsfeld zwischen Soziologie und Künstlicher Intelligenz, dessen Konturen sich erst allmählich auszuprägen beginnen. In der Sozionik geht es um die Frage, wie es möglich ist, Vorbilder aus der sozialen Welt aufzugreifen, um daraus intelligente Computertechnologien zu entwickeln. “

MOO

“CoolMUD is a type of MUD, and a descendant of MOO. It is a text-based online virtual reality system to which multiple users are connected at the same time. Created by Stephen White”//answers

“Stephen White (also known by the handles “Ghondahrl” and “ghond”) wrote the first version of the MOO server, which was released on May 2, 1990, and used for the operation of a server called “AlphaMOO”.”//MOO-History

“MOO (Mud Object Oriented) — A text-based virtual environment created by Stephen White, also known as ghond, and programmed with the MOO programming language. While MOOs can be used for educational purposes, like MUDs, they are primarily used for role-playing and social interaction.”//1up

"This is attributed to Stephen White (ghond), and is believed to be the original design document for MOO."

“The term MOO is used in two distinct, but related, senses. One is to refer to those programs descended from the original MOO server, and the other is to refer to any MUD that uses object oriented techniques to organize its database of objects, particularly if it does so in a similar fashion to the original MOO or its derivatives.”//britain.tv” The MOO programming language is a programming languageA programming language or computer language is a standardized communication technique for expressing instructions to a computer. It is a set of syntactic and semantic rules used to define computer programs. A language enables a programmer to precisely specify what data a computer will act upon, how these data will be stored/transmitted, and precisely what actions to take under various circumstances….

The Incredible Tale of LambdaMOO

A Brief History of Computing/another Stephen White

Pavel Curtis-The Incredible Tale of LambdaMOO

“Pavel Curtis, while a computer scientist at Xerox PARC, created one of the first popular on-line role-playing environments, LambdaMOO [requires Telnet], in 1991.” /artmuseum/ —->Lambda Moo

“A puppet is a MOO object that acts much like a player (saying things, performing actions, etc.) but that is actually owned by and under the control of some other player.”

” There were long periods, indeed, where many petitions reached ballot stage and none of them passed; it seems to me now that the voting population could never agree on anything of real substance. I think that this is the real lesson of LambdaMOO’s experiment with direct democracy.”

” If these online “virtual” communities are to have the same robustness as the more physically oriented ones, they must become pliant and mutable under the same forces that cause RL communities to grow and change. It must be possible for incompatible sub-communities to separate and grow apart, thereby relieving the kinds of stresses that constantly tear at LambdaMOO. It must be possible for individuals to completely control their own creations, without the specter of an all-powerful wizard looming in the background, distorting all natural social interactions.” //written by Pavel Curtis on Wednesday, June 19, 2002//

“Brewster is one of those guys who has been successful in spite of the fact that he has never been after that kind of success. He’s been pushing protocols for the benefit of humanity in order to make things run better. What he’s done with Wais and protocols has been instrumental in bringing about the success of the Internet.”//edge// “Brewster Kahle is on a mission. He wants the whole planet to have access to human knowledge. All human knowledge. And he’s striving to make that possible–one byte at a time.”c/net
