One‑Line Summary (for the card footer)#
ABM shows behavior.
RTT‑Inside reveals state, lineage, and meaning.
Why This Diagram Matters#
- ABM remains computationally powerful
- RTT‑Inside makes simulations interpretable, humane, and durable
- Forks remain coherent
- Futures remain plural
- Understanding survives technology
