&gt;&gt; Translation It took about 30 minutes for the first TC population

&gt;&gt; Within a couple days the entire world was knee deep in TC spores.
&gt;&gt; TC's need an effective predator which has its own cyclic population
&gt;&gt; behaviour (needs to be dependant on TC population, but enough
&gt;&gt; out-of-step to prevent steady-states from occuring).

&gt; Sounds similar to the old "sharks and fish" simulation. It was in
&gt; the Mathematical Games section of Scientific American some years
&gt; ago. 

Could be.  I've spent significant time searching the Scientific
American site to no avail (they have one of the worst search features
I've found yet).  

&gt; I recall from playing that a friend and I did that you can tune the
&gt; various parameters to keep things going for quite a long time.

&gt; For those who don't recall it, it was something like this:G

...deletia...

&gt; (I may have some details wrong - its been a while.)

Yes, very similar.  I'd love to dig out that original article.
