I asked him if he thought a simple reinforcement/aversive learning
algorithm inside each individual would be adequate. His intuition was
"yes". So whatever the modeling objective, my plan is to start with
that. I also asked whether we wanted to instantiate a Herd as an
object/class or try to get them to emerge and his inclination was to
try to get it to arise naturally. So, it's already an interesting
project even though I have no idea what we'll be doing. 8^D
We provide a theory-based alternative to learning, neural nets, etc. here:

But if your partner has digested the other classics of individual-based
ecological modeling, he will know that starting to design the model or
its code before deciding exactly what it's for, and how he will decide
what does and does not need to be in it, is an excellent way to make all
the money go away rapidly.
