RE: [xml-dev] Creating a Complex System using XSLT. Step 1: Cre ateFeedback

It's when your girlfriends choose your wife for you 
and then she culls the clothes you wore when dating.

A queue is a good way to model.  Pick any queue that 
can be modified by the state of the system it feeds. 
You need an observer of the state and it must have a 
means to signal the input manager.

o  A document is 'the state of the system'.

o  A parser observes it's current state but 
   you can use DOM/SAX to get and set. 

o  A script is the input manager. 

o  The parser reports to the script that calls the stylesheet 
   and provides it the value to transform the system.

o  Loop in the script.

Are you predicting system behaviors, or queue behaviors, or both? 
Do a visual output of the states of each and see if any patterns 
self-organize.
