March (1991, p. 71): "exploration includes things captured by terms such as search, variation, risk taking, experimentation, play, flexibility, discovery, innovation. Exploitation includes such things as refinement, choice, production, efficiency. selection, implementation, execution". In order to govern complexity, we must explore and capture what is new, but also exploit the results of what has been learned each time. If we were to just explore, we would have to bear all the costs of the acti vities needed to research, interpret and test that which is new, but we would reap only a fraction of the benefits that could be obtained from the resulting innovations.

An appropriately taglinked collection of classifier rules can implement any subroutine or program that can be written for a computer. As a result any hierarchical cas can be implemented as a classifier system. 6. Cas Models Based on Classifier Systems Classifier systems address three basic problems in the study of cas: (1) Parallelism and coordination. Should an agent use a single, monolithic rule for each situation it could encounter, the demands on its capacity to store rules would be overwhelming.

6. Cas Models Based on Classifier Systems Classifier systems address three basic problems in the study of cas: (1) Parallelism and coordination. Should an agent use a single, monolithic rule for each situation it could encounter, the demands on its capacity to store rules would be overwhelming. No system can afford to retain enough rules to handle unique situations such as "a red Saab by the side of the road with a flat tire". On the other hand, such a situation is easily handled by simultaneously activating rules for the building blocks of the situation: "car", "roadside", "flat tire", and the like.
