RTE.3.7 Upgrade List 1


If you are interested in the Theory of Nemetics refer to
Nemetical approach to Complex Adaptive Systems –
 interactions of Red, Green, Blue Waves



The Ripple Tank Simulator was designed to explore wave dynamics and physics. While that is fascinating, my interest is in modeling political economy, sociology and organizational dynamics. In the service of that repurpose, it would be good to have a feature that allows control of automatic movement of source points in arbitrary paths on the field.

Here's what I see.

Figure 1
Setup


The figure one setup can be a first approximation of an "organisation" or what we describe in nemetics as an nShape. The oscillator at the center is bounded by a wall and a membrane. Outside the wall we can call it the environment. 

At present it is easy to place up to twenty oscillators in the field. Figure 2 is an example of just one source point. 


Figure 2

The problem is that one or two or even twenty static position sources does not get close to the reality of the environment for a real organization. As of today one can move a point by hand. Cumbersome and not really helpful to do the kind of experimentation that is interesting.  

 Figure 3 gives a hint of what might be possible if one were able to control the movement of source points. It's much closer to what we need for more useful play.

Figure 1. The Setup
Note Non Fixed Edges
It seems that non fixed edges resolve to an oscillating field over time.  ( Earlier post )  So far it seems only the frequency settings above allow stable state non oscillating fields. 

The blue lines are arbitrarily drawn but do loosely follow patterns of wave interference. I think, but do not know that the precise shapes of the blue lines in these setups is not critical. 

In the metaphor I'm using here  the space between the blue lines are meant to emulate life spaces.  Going from left to right, childhood, coming of age, adulthood, retirement, and old age. My conjecture is it will be useful to see the spaces between the lines as Events.


Stable State reached by Figure 1 Setup

Figure 3 New Setup
A wall has been inserted in the far left blue line.
The wall might map to an event or life space that has been painful. It could be a traumatic event or merely a failure which one does not want to remember.


Figure 4
The pattern changes quickly with only the addition of one wall.

RTE.3.6.1 Periodicity and Bwave Spectrums

The following snaps were taken about .5 seconds apart.  Each full image is followed by it's Bwave spectrum.

RTE.3.5.2 Towards Visualizing A Bwave Spectrum 2

Following are iterations of Figure 1.

The first image and it's bwave spectrum has settled into a steady state. Further iterations do not change the shapes.


Stable state achieved over many iterations.



Starting from the stable state above, a wall has been added on the lower left. The following are snapshots of iterations with no further human intervention.

The contention is the following images can be created using rules based tools with the Ripple Tank Simulator. These images emerged from algorithms based on wave interactions and human intervention to create shapes of high and low viscosity and walls. 

The images are the result of setting parameters and allowing an arbitrary number of iterations.
