[Swarm-Modelling] confused about complex sistems...

[Derek Farren]

Hello.

 

I made an economic simulation on Swarm. As an experiment I ran it with different agent’s number and made the function f(number of agents) = product of the economy. I was expecting to found some kind of exponential function, because since it’s a non linear complex system, I thought there must be some kind of increased returns on it.

The function is linear…. Does it mean that my simulation is not modeling a complex system?? Or there could be some other non linearities hidden on it?
