As happens quite often, more than one place I frequent on the great wide Internet started discussion the same thing at the same time. In this case, politics and in particular the politics of healthcare. I didn't join the discussion, since in the one place where I'd even consider doing so Russ Allbery said exactly what I wanted to say only much clearer than I ever could (he's got my vote for Dictator of the World, that's for sure). But it at least made me think about what I think. And I had a bit of a brainflash. Due to lack of sleep, probably. But anyway, it seemed interesting enough to Google for what others had thought about the same thing.
Only I didn't find anything quite like it. Which seems strange. So I thought I'd ask here: does anyone here know of any attempts to describe politics in terms of emergent behaviour?
