> hence take into account that one person cannot occupy the same space as another, and the overhead of routing, blocking I'm not sure what you mean by this beyond what the author already implemented—people occupy space that can't overlap, several of the simulations break down because of blocking, and many of the simulations even display the routing paths that the agents are planning.

What I meant was that agent behaviour is linear and predictable, assumptions that don't hold when modeling actual people in the wild (it's fine for modeling e.g. factory queues and stuff, not knocking on queue theory as a field). Reasonable people can disagree on the assumptions made here though.

  I get what you're saying here, and I agree—although you also mentioned specific objections above that don't seem to be valid.

    I'll readily admit that attacking my stream of consciousness postings is like shooting fish in a barrel :)
