01.Feb.2011 [parameters] Dendrites

Dendrites (déndron, “tree”) are branched vector projections in three dimensional space from localized centers or nodes.  Occurring naturally in both living and non living elements throughout our environment, dendritic formations warrant the functionality of processes within our known universe.  In rock formations, mineral deposits advance and retreat “seasonally” onto the surface and generate branching patterns that […]

[parameters] Aggregate Structures: Sponges

Sponges do not have nervous, digestive or circulatory systems. Instead, most rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food and oxygen and to remove wastes, and the shapes of their bodies are adapted to maximize the efficiency of the water flow. Sponges can control the water flow by various combinations […]

[paramaters] Tree Deformation Visualization

Tree growth is augmented by a field of interacting parameters. Each parameter has an inherent potential to effect growth. Additionally each parameter occurs within a given system at varying frequencies. The nomenclature we have given to these observations is Quantity and Quality. The quality of deformation within the system determines the size of the circle […]

[parameters] Chordyceps Fungal Signal

pdf download The strength of the fungus “signal” is amplified or damped depending it’s proximity to optimum growth conditions at each control point in the loop.   For example, after completing the internal fungal growth stage, zero movement becomes the next optimal condition for the fungus growth.  The closer the variable at the point in the […]

[parameters] The Swarm : BATS

The bat swarm initially appears to be a single mass, but the system is composed of individuals that react to local conditions. These reactions are triggered by variables and parameters generated by the bat itself and its surrounding environment. There are two main states that promote bat behavior, the first, bats inside the cave and […]

[parameters] Black Sun

black sun the spectacular play of starling aerobatics take place in southern Denmark two times every year when the starlings migrate to and from their breeding and winter quarters respectively. having fouraged during the day in groups of 10-15 birds they meet up at dusk to form flocks of up to 500,000 individuals before settling […]

[parameters] Diatoms

Diatoms are one of the basic eight types of algaes found in nature. They are unicellular organisms characterized by their silica shell. They occur in abundance  in the early part of the year as ‘Spring Bloom’ which occurs due to the availability of light and nutrients required to flourish. When conditions are favorable, i.e availability […]
