Hi, Ray.

One will seldom, if ever get identical behavior from two different codes,
even if the inputs are identical.

The emergent behavior that could be observed from EpiSims, The SIMS, and
Second Life, assuming the latter two could emulate responses to the
introduction of a viral pathogen, will vary based directly on the
differences of granularity with with the agents are implemented in the
simulations.
