  5. cumulative hits

  6. demo: simulation • agent-based simulation • an “experimenter” recruits agents • each white arrow is a shared meme

  7. simulation timeseries

  8. Memelab results

  9. Memelab • using memes to study viral phenomena • extending results through simulations • intermediate goal: 2 billion agent simulation • http://imiller.utsc.utoronto.ca
