PartEcon's mission is to complete a single lean-budget pure science project,
namely the construction of a computational agent-based "particle economy"
model (The Metabolic Collider) demonstrating several key macro economic
phenomena emergent from a few fundamental accounting and other elements
and their interactions - using "bottom up" techniques and results from
statistical physics, mathematical biology, and formal logic.
