Agility, Permeable and SemiPermeable Membranes

In the Ripple Tank simulator there are two kinds of boundaries available - edit Walls, edit Medium. I think but do not know the edit Medium changes the density of the fluid through which the waves move. I am taking the Medium boundaries as semipermeable membranes. Walls with Fixed Edges set are rigid and do not allow wave energy to pass through.

Note the energy source is outside rather than inside the nTube represented. 

1. Set Up

2. Set up 1 running for a bit.

3. Set up 2 in 3d view.

4. Set up 2. Note: Walls have been added to the boundary.

5. Set up 2 running for a bit.

6. 3d view of number 5

Rules Based Transformations, NemiTubes and Membranes

A work in progress.

The exploration is to go from A

to B 

Starting Condition

2D view of Pic A above.

Stage 2.

Nemitube membranes form at dissonant wave interactions.

These are drawn by hand, but adjusting the Brightness ( see controls )

allows fine distinctions of border conditions.

Stage 3

NemiTube membranes are constraints of wave patterns going forward.

Note they are sensitively dependent on shape.

Stage 4

At the lower left nemiTube new membranes form along wave dissonant lines.

Stage 5

Federal Reserve October reports on Economy

I've often believed the data from the regional Federal Reserve offices are the data to watch to try to guess where we've been and thus we're we might be going. The problem is that this data has been usually locked up in the Beige Books and it seems mainstream media is not willing to spend the time reading them closely. I highly recommend taking the time to page through the presentation below.. National Economic Indicators, The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. October 2012

It all depends on how one looks at ... Ohio

Less smoothing Moderate Smoothing

Swing States as of October 4

Note October 4 data is based on only two polls as of Oct 7.
Presidential debate was held Oct 3.
