Abstract
NetLogo is a freely programmable environment that offers an interface whose graphic synthesis is sufficient to depict emergent and complex phenomena as long as they are characterized by the appropriate variables; it looks for ways to incorporate geometric and geographical bases of real cartographies; it has the capacity to speculate with the future of reciprocal, cooperative societies; is able to diagram the virtual model on the graph of real data; finally, it helps researchers and teachers to set methodologies to project from the consideration of minimum knowledge units and neighbourhood conditions. This paper explains some resource implications as well as examples chosen in recent years by students of the UA.
