Dear Rainer, With the version we are developing it is already possible to run several agents on the same machine and even on the same browser, each one on a window or a tag. To this effect, temporary files used for communication will be specific to a session and to the page from which it originated. Agants will certainly communicate via MIDI ports, as currently implemented, but I wish that we (or some more qualified persons) also implement the protocol for OSC. First step will be MIDI, once the interface and all soundless operations have been completed and fully checked. I have a primitive notion of MIDI with cables and interfaces, but I guess machines can imbed MIDI commands into Ethernet and wireless networks. Definitely this will reduce the load on every processor. Some agents could even produce items with sound-objects containing no musical code, just for te sake of creating a time-structure sending synchonization messages to other players. Well, orchestra conductors ;-) And others would take care of the lighting system. Still, none of them will make coffee ;-) Bernard Rainer Schütz wrote on 19/07/2020 18:02: > Sounds fascinating! > >> On 19.
