Yeah, a bit embarrassing for a magazine that covers technology, HIVE defintely works on graph-theory graphs. Even weirder is the (Source: DARPA) attribution.

The flaw in this way of thinking is hidden in your assumption about what counts as "doing something." You talk as if the only thing that counts as doing something is what you call "change", which means "changing the

I tend to agree with you, but somehow seeing someone else say what I feel made me realize that this is the wrong way to think about the issue. Individuals can do exactly what they can do, and it isn't nothing.
