Another excellent piece. I really liked how the agents would resolve and "understand" human emotions through basic logic. I appreciate you bringing this to the greater internet: it isn't easy to google for information on Oz, and even Zoesis's most relevant result is an old site on cmu.edu

Aaron, that was a great read. Thanks for putting that together as you clearly spent a lot of time on that. We had plenty of people writing about the Oz Project over the years, but I don't recall anyone really getting it the way you clearly do.

Thanks Scott, glad you found it and enjoyed it! I did my dissertation with Michael Mateas, so the legacy was "in my blood" so to speak. =) Glad to get the chance to hopefully introduce the work you all were doing to some new folks!

Very reminiscent of the Erasmatron well that Chris Crawford fell down and never quite emerged from...
