		// and the four colors that will represent the families (or use "red", "green", "blue", etc.)

		// prepare zim Proportion object to change the ages to mappable values
		// Generally, we would like to use the person value as the radius of a circle
		// but the range is really big and the younger people would be too small
		// so start with a minimum size and proportion out the rest to a maximum size

		// we need the minimum age and the maximum age
		// we can eyeball it with this data (16, 58), 
		// but one way to code it is to add all ages to a single array
		// then sort the single array by number and take the first and last entry
		const allAges = [];
		loop(data, d=>{allAges.push(...d);}); // d is each inner array and we push the ES6 spread - or use concat()
		allAges.sort(function(a, b) {return a-b;}); // unfortunately, this is how we sort by number

				let circle = new Circle(r, colors[i])

					.addPhysics(); // add physics - new integrated format in ZIM 10

				// but the rotation will be damped for smoother motion 
				// so store a damp object for each circle

				// this location could be interactive

				// you could have many clusters - and be able to change clusters, etc.
				// multiply the force by some factor that seems right...
				circle.force((stageW/2-circle.x)*.1, (stageH/2-circle.y)*.1);

				// turn the labels the opposite way from the body rotation
