At this point, we’ll reiterate how much we’ve simplified the model, but we certainly hope that the reader will have seen how an actual conceptualization can be carried out embodying complex concepts such as trust and policy infrastructures, their embedding into religious systems, their applicability at different scales, all in a form which is palatable to computer understanding. While an actual model of computer networks anywhere close to the complexity of human activity will take time to emerge, we may now turn to a form that is germane to computers; synthetic social ecosystems.

Synthetic Social Ecosystems

In considering the environments in which members of various species interact, we have considered first the physical ecosystem and then the social ecosystems that exist within it. The rules that govern interactions within the physical ecosystem are, or derive from, physical laws and the rules that govern interactions within social ecosystems are defined in the context of trust and policy infrastructures. Now, for completeness given developments within wide area computer networks, we should briefly consider yet a third form of ecosystem, the synthetic social ecosystem. Consider an essay provided to us by Scott Guthery, a colleague of ours author of multiple books, some with one of us (Tim). This is printed with his authorization.

The first widely-used multi-player, computer-mediated virtual world was a Multi-User Dungeon (MUD) written in MACRO-10 assembly language for a DecSystem-10 mainframe computer at Essex University in England. This first virtual world went on-line and began enrolling inhabitants in the fall of 1978. The MUD was the creation of and was written by Rob Trubshaw, an undergraduate computer science major at Essex. [1, 2]

The first MUD exactly like the 100’s of MUDs, MOOs, MUCKs and MUSHes that have come on-line over the next thirty years [3] was purely text-based. You typed in what you wanted to say to somebody else in the virtual world and you read on your screen or your Teletype printout what they said to you. All at 1,200 bits per second. Not megabits. Not kilobits. Bits.
