Seen in this light, computers are always followers,
never leaders... computers mimic something that
was already there...never originate.
One could argue "what about genetic algorithms?"
These algorithms originate on compuers by random
alteration and a seletive pressure. But in the
case of genetic algorithms, there is a single
meta system in place that provides a context for
the whole process to take place. There really is
no jumping out of a system.
Also consider that the two people playing cards
are able to reach a consensus on the trick
without utilizing randome choices or selection
pressures on future generations...
