Today we looked at this “playable post on the nature of society”. It is a great activity to make you think about how you can positively contribute to society becoming less segregated.
We tried to work out the maths behind the applet. Where does 95% come from in the screenshot from above?? In the javascript for the applet you can see that a measure of “sameness” is used which involves the fraction of neighbours that are the same as you. Can you create/recreate the algorithm used to find the 95%?
