self-organization_1 @10:58 PM
A Flash Experiment that demonstrates emergent, self-organizational behavior. Throw some balls into a space, apply a few rules, and see what happens - the result it pretty cool. I'm looking forward to expand this experiments into something more - see if I can't tweak some instructions a little more to see if they'll organize in a different manner. A lot of this relates to stuff we were talking about in 564 earlier today - I'm very interested by the role of authorship in these systems - or more precisely, how linear forms (I'm calling linear anything that is centrally controlled) can be merged with non-linear (I'm calling non-linear a system that is made up of collective actions of individual actors) in an engaging way that makes use of the strengths of both.
