I do not understand.

Are you saying the flight patterns are
spontaneous?

Russell:

The flight-plan perspectives are, indeed, quite beautiful. I'd argue, however, that they're far from spontaneous. As a matter of fact, the flight plan of a given jet (and all jets in aggregate) is one of the largest, most complex, of non-spontaneous events in our current worldsphere.

The LAST thing I'd ever want was an UNPLANNED, SPONTANEOUS group of 16,000 jets in the sky!

Great reference to the site, however. Thanks!
