Will Wright

A brilliant and thoughtful quote by Will Wright (thanks Kotaku and Spong):
Science is all about compressing reality to minimal rule sets, but generative creation goes the opposite direction. You look for a combination of the fewest rules that can generate a whole complex world which will always surprise you, yet within a framework that stays recognizable.....It's not engineering and design, so much as it is gardening. You plant seeds.
