Terminal Oriented Social Science
(TOSS) The Cambridge Project {Project MAC} was an
ARPA-funded political science computing project. They worked
on topics like survey analysis and simulation, led by Ithiel
de Sola Pool, J.C.R. Licklider and Douwe B. Yntema. Yntema
had done a system on the {MIT} Lincoln Labs {TX-2} called the
{Lincoln Reckoner}, and in the summer of 1969 led a Cambridge
Project team in the construction of an experiment called TOSS.
TOSS was like {Logo}, with {matrix} operators. A major
feature was multiple levels of {undo}, back to the level of
the {login} session. This feature was cheap on the Lincoln
Reckoner, but absurdly expensive on {Multics}.
