Reality Resolution
Reality Resolution simply refers to the various level of detail in a simulation, game, business model or other software system. In the above images we can easily see different levels of detail. This is an example of vararious levels or gradiants of Graphical Reality Resolution. The concept of Reality Resolution in general applies to all aspects of simulations, games, business models and other systems. A graphical example of Reality Resolution is the easiest to illustrate. Why is the concept of reality resolution important? There are "reality resolution thresholds", that when crossed, make a significant difference to the simulation, game, business model and other systems. It's important to know when you've crossed these thresholds and entered an appropiate level of detail for the particular system or aspect of the system.

Distributed Computing
Distributed computing via the Internet enables collaboration between large numbers of people that are dispersed across the globe. It also enables the joining together of vast amounts of computing resources into a vast super computer which can be used to solve problems that require a lot of computational power. Problems are split up into tiny pieces and spread around the computing nodes in the distributed network where the computation is done at the same time (in parallel) and finally the results are returned and integrated into the whole of the solution. This works remarkably well for certain applications while for others it's a puzzle that takes work to find a successful fragmenting and integration strategy.
