Project Description
The rule of history shows that given similar circumstances, history repeats itself, which is independent of human interference. As we dig deeper into history, we are no longer content with merely superficial descriptions of past events, but hope that history can serve to help us predict the future. Therefore, with the joint efforts of generations of historians, the rule of history appears.
However, this rule is obtained only by the generalization and summary of past events, and thus seems subject and unconvincing to many people. Within the constrictions of the sole method, the matter can hardly be solved.
Here, we offer an alternative to test the rule of history. We use colonies of bacteria, with each colony containing bacteria of different roles to construct a simplified model. The different roles within a colony mimic people’s different roles in human society. Different colonies mimic different countries. The battles between bacteria mimic battles in the human society. By testing the results under different conditions, we test the rule of history.
Besides, we construct an abstract model based on the experiment and develop a computer game based on the model. By playing the game, one can understand the rule of history more vividly and can summarize the best strategy under certain circumstances. We regard the game as a good way to publicize our ideas and incite people’s interest in science.
Apart from testing the rule of history in human society, the model can also serve to test the rule of battle in nature. This reveals the best strategies for a colony to survive under different circumstances, thus providing information for the study of ecology.

Styling your wiki
You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.
While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.
Wiki template information
We have created these wiki template pages to help you get started and to help you think about how your team will be evaluated. You can find a list of all the pages tied to awards here at the Pages for awards link. You must edit these pages to be evaluated for medals and awards, but ultimately the design, layout, style and all other elements of your team wiki is up to you!
Editing your wiki
On this page you can document your project, introduce your team members, document your progress and share your iGEM experience with the rest of the world!
Use WikiTools - Edit in the black menu bar to edit this page
Tips
This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started:
- State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start.
- Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.
- You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.
- Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.
- Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.
- Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the iGEM 2017 calendar
- Have lots of fun!
Inspiration
You can also view other team wikis for inspiration! Here are some examples:
Uploading pictures and files
You can upload your pictures and files to the iGEM 2017 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name.
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to T--YourOfficialTeamName--NameOfFile.jpg. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)
