Market is a greatly simplified model of a stock market. For more details, please see http://www.santafe.edu/projects/swarm/examples/market/ Market is an example of a previous bit of simulation code that was quickly hacked to work under the Swarm framework. There's only one object being simulated, the "market" - the code there is a stub to the original simulation code. We only use Swarm's facilities for inputting parameters and displaying data. It also happens to be a simulation that doesn't take place in a 2d grid. To have some fun with this, set the "scale of dividend jumps" up at about 10.0 or so.
