Re: [FRIAM] Ruth Charney on Modeling with Cubes - The readable one
Nice work Ken Its especially interesting when this field breaks into multi dimension ( or hypercube in Ruths words ) start including hologram memory retention and the shifting POVS as you can now change your vector all around the dimension and all sorts of wonderful patterns come into view. Maybe mother nature with her fractal geometry for everything has some real relevance but we just have difficulty laying everything out in 2d and start from the wrong perspective Keep it up and feed more to the group ( : ( : pete Peter Baston *IDEAS* /www.ideapete.com/ http://www.ideapete.com/ Kenneth Lloyd wrote: Pete, First, thanks for the Charney link.

Re: [FRIAM] Ruth Charney on Modeling with Cubes
Yes great stuff BUT sad that the you tube postings of the presentations suck and are un-viewable due to poor camera work ( I have emailed Ruth for a copy of her power point presentation and will post it when I get it ) There is also a fascinating guy on a similar program called Martin Golubitsky http://www.maa.org/news/090508mg.html and http://www.math.uh.edu/~mg/ discussing Patterns Patterns Everywhere which will blow your socks of ( Sadly same problem as Ruth's with the camera work and ditto with the powerpoint posting if he will send it to me.) I heard a lecture or interview of his once in which he says / Its especially important to realize that most models are just theories which may have no connection to anything in real life except in the mind of the modeler / Just about says it all.
