quote from John Archibald Wheeler or Albeit Einstein.
"Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.
Space is what prevents everything from happening to me."

I suspect that Archibald elaborated on his hero's words.

co-existence
sustainability
-there is some element about sustainability when looking at the relationship between virtual and real time. If either side diminishes, then the chance of exploiting their relationship suffers.
>>eg if virtual time takes away from people having real life experiences, then using them to represent the real population becomes pointless
>>eg if the virtual experience is shortlived, so that the online population is one made up on new people, who eventually get bored and quit, to make room for other new people; then at some point we will exhaust the resources of new participants.

title?
architectural representation using computer games: the relationship between virtual and real time.

dimensionless? "nondimensionalization": "dynamical systems and differential equations"
applied to:

-architecture
-time

additional courses
I've been thinking about taking/sitting in on a course that will give me a chance to improve my writing ability. If a large portion of the PhD thesis is centered around expressing ideas/concepts in a written form, then I cannot think of a better course to take than Poetry.
Apparently it is easy to organise a sit it. A little bit harder to organise formal enrollment.
