Друзья, новогодние подарки продолжаются.Кто занимается играми и лесом - переводите, применяйте.Успехов,СветВдохновленный работой Анастасии Макарьевой и Уго Барди, я рад поделиться с вами этой недавней статьей “Простая настольная игра для моделирования системной динамики обезлесения“, которая только что была опубликована на Qeios в виде препринта: https://www.qeios.com/read/U5Q11BОсновываясь на стыке лесов/обезлесения, системной динамики и игр, я попытался разработать простую в использовании настольную игру, которая, как я надеялся, поможет донести некоторые (иногда довольно сложные) концепции до молодых поколений, которые не так хорошо знакомы с математикой.

Subject: Living Earth A Simple Board Game for Modeling the System Dynamics of DeforestationDear all,--
Sometimes, following the discussions in this group takes interesting directions in my mind. Inspired by the work of Anastassia Makarieva and Ugo Bardi, I am happy to share with you this recent article “A Simple Board Game for Modeling the System Dynamics of Deforestation “ that was just published on Qeios as a preprint: https://www.qeios.com/read/U5Q11B
Based at the intersection of forests/deforestation, system dynamics and games, I tried to work out a simple-to-use board game to hopefully transport some of the (sometimes quite challenging) concepts to younger generations that are not so familiar with maths:
What strikes me most in the first test runs of the game was that me and the players (actually, my two kids were the first to enjoy the game 😊) observed a dynamics that Ugo once coined as the “Seneca collapse” (see figure below, right hand side):
Currently, I am analyzing (playing) the the game further with my students and pupils at schools. So far, we have played the game more than 170 times – and the “collapse” scenario seems to be the most frequent outcome.
Of course, people are arguing that this is just a game that does certainly not (completely) reflect reality. However, the people playing the game are the same homo sapiens responsible for deforestation in the real world. So maybe there is something to learn from all of this. In this context, Friedrich Schiller, one of the great German poets and philosophers of the late 18th and early 19th century, once said: “Man only plays when he is in the fullest sense of the word a human being, and he is only human when he plays”
If you would like to have a look at the article and comment on it (Qeios has an open peer-review system that looks very interesting and promising to me) I would highly appreciate your feedback that you leave there. Simply click on “Review this Article” on top. Maybe this helps to further democratize research. Who knows…?
In the meantime, I wish you all a good start in a hopefully healthy, peaceful and wonderful Happy New Year 2025!
With kind regards,
Thorsten
