Ant on the Beach
June 25th, 2007“Viewed as a geometric figure, the ant’s path is irregular, complex, and hard to describe. But its complexity is really a complexity in the surface of the beach, not the complexity in the ant.” [from Herbert Simon's The Sciences of the Artificial]
I like.

I need to make my way through that book at some point. After the 12 that are in line before it though :(

Tell me about it – I think I’ve amassed a couple dozen books I want to get through before the summer is through. And that doesn’t include non-design books. Sigh.
