2. What is it?
It is an attempt spread the message, refine, improve, plan and eventually implement the introduced concept in order to advance the social decision making process.
Computer Scientists are in particular interest as the creation and establishment of the agent-based model simulations and complex adaptive systems that model computational sociology relies on their expertise and creativity.
The Zemerge model provides the means for stepping stones to change our current society, as the initial virtual environment can consist mostly of organisms that mirror our current society – we can then gradually introduce novel additions with alternative concepts and see how natural selection, mutation and inheritance slowly mold the advantageous concepts into our current system.
All of nature is a series of emergent systems layered on top of each other as entropy increases, from particle physics to chemistry, from chemistry to biology, from biology to organisms, from organisms to intelligence, from intelligence to society.
Let us apply this concept of emergence for our prosperity and the prosperity for all generations to come, let us change our distorted and destructive mindsets to relevant humanistic mindsets and realign ourselves with nature, let us zoom out and emerge with Zemerge.
In short, Zemerge is a computing project of applying genetic algorithms to social simulations in order to help us derive optimal evidence based social decisions.

If you’re going to try to apply multiple sciences (especially physics) to as risky a prospect as social engineering, à la Pol Pot, Karl Marx or Nicolae Ceauşescu, it would help a lot if you correctly understood the science first.
On the page above, there is the phrase “All of nature is a series of emergent systems layered on top of each other as entropy increases…”
First, entropy increases as order _decreases_. In a sense, increasing entropy can be considered as equivalent to increasing chaos, _not_ order. For more on this, consult your local textbook on the Second Law of Thermodynamics. If you insist on increasing the entropy in your allegory, it will evoke the image of a man going senile in a house that’s crumbling as it succumbs to a landslide.
Second, changes in entropy represent changes in potential over time. Superimposing a higher-order structure over a set of lower-order structures does not affect the entropy of the lower-order structures. For example, a house may be part of a housing development, and that, in turn, part of a village. The degree to which the village is organized (or disorganized) has virtually no effect on how organized/structured the house is. What’s more, you don’t need particular organization in houses to have a village. You can have a village based on mud huts, or even a single longhouse. All that’s needed for a village to exist is an agreement by a group of individuals to settle in a single location, and construct some kind of shelter.
As for your example, the level of a person’s intelligence doesn’t affect the structure of their skeleton or their lungs’s process of transferring gases to and from their blood. In fact, how nature produced a brain capable of logic or self-awareness is currently a matter of some conjecture and debate, and given the apparent intelligence of a colony of ants in selecting a new nest, and their lack of any organ capable of complex thought, a brain doesn’t even appear to be a necessary condition for intelligence.
So, your premise that these systems are somehow hierarchically structured doesn’t seem to be sound, either top-down or bottom-up.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in coming up with a better way to reorganize society, and better luck in persuading others to adopt it.
