Swarm collects the events that will occur at different absolute
timesteps as they become available (across many agents' dynamic
activities and their respective subjective timescales), as `concurrent
actions'. When it comes time to execute a set of these concurrent
actions, Swarm shuffles the list and runs each action in the shuffled set
one after the next. (In a parallel implementation it would start up a thread
for each, or send off a bunch of asynchronous MPI messages.)
==================================
Swarm-Modelling is for discussion of Simulation and Modelling techniques
esp. using Swarm. For list administration needs (esp. [un]subscribing),
please send a message to <address@hidden> with "help" in the
body of the message.
