In addition to the comments above, I do think that the addition of weak and strong emergence to our discussions is a very helpful way to distinguish between deterministic and non-deterministic systems. 

Adding to Evan's excitement about the new big program to write, I think it will be interesting to observe how all of our modules that do simple interactions will yield complex behavior.  It's quite a "size shift" as to what we have been writing so far, but relatively speaking all that we're linking together in this new big program is small with perhaps a more complex outcome than we've seen before.

Something I'd really like to explore more/talk about is how we can make it "think".
