<SHORTDESCRIPTION>Model of interesting scenario involving a lift</SHORTDESCRIPTION>
<LONGDESCRIPTION>This is a model of an interesting scenario that Meurig encountered whilst at a conference in 
Lucerne in 1988, when he and two other delegates all managed to get out of the lift at the wrong 
floor through a series of interlocking mistakes.  It uses many definitions and is a good example of 
the definitive style and is a good representation of Meurig's construal of the situation.  This is 
explained in the accompanying paper "Radical Empiricism, Empirical Modelling and the nature of 
knowing".

It also includes some automation: files introduced at later stages cause "the lift" to open "it's own" 
doors and so on.  Unfortunately the tkeden tool was not designed for a multi-agent simulation 
such as this and there are various problems: a delay has been introduced to slow the model to a 
speed where the scenario can be seen progressing... but the way the delay is modelled, /all/ 
agents are paused whilst the delay is active.
