Biomimicry, or learning from life
A virreal is ideally a complex interplay between websites and real life actions. In designing a virreal one can learn from (complex) organisms or ecosystems. Taking cues from nature is also known as biomimicry. The key is to figure out how the coordinated dynamics within these systems take place and can be influenced.
The dynamics of current social networks are already very interesting, but I am wondering how they can be taken to the next level, i.e. letting social networks take intended collective actions.
