Yes, I guess so - except for the "adaptation" part, which is beyond my current ability.

Nice. He gives some references I should dig up, about a stochastic model which converges to the [[Lotka-Volterra model]] in the limit of large populations, saying:

I think I'm working on the math of this sort of stochastic model right now...
Crutchfield is familiar to me from discussions at the Entropy Club - some members know his work on [computational mechanics](http://cse.ucdavis.edu/~chaos/chaos/pubs.htm#CompMech).
