One of the big problems (I think) in making modular objects with
properties that "emerge" when they are used together is how to get
something useful out, rather than noise.  This shows a couple of good
solutions, although it's not clear to me how the Digital Cubes work, in
any detail (do they have to all be aligned pointing "north"? does one
dominate (if so, which)? are the visible messages really emergent (eg the
"noise" really interferes) or do the cubes simply switch from noise to
text when they detect neighbours?)
