"At no point am I talking about a notion of what the ‘right’ job is for agents, simulation or action. Rather, I’d like to see both coexist in productive tension, each making the other more effective. The simulation swarms dream of a diverging universe of futures that action agents sample, enact and critique in view of their perception of reality. Like the neighbour’s annoying lawn mower on a Sunday afternoon, those observations filter back into the dreams. Something mostly akin to insight, maybe even wisdom, emerges – of the kind that neither breed of agents with a limited purview could on its own attain."
