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,
 
First, thanks for the Charney link. For the past several years I have 
been working with connective Compositional Pattern Producing Networks 
(CPPNs) in HyperNEAT.

Specifically, I have been using CPPN's for pattern discovery in 
evolving complex systems. Jason Gauci wrote this interesting 
introduction to unsupervised pattern learning in a simple checkers 
game using these techniques - an definite improvement on Blondie24:

Here is the actual presentation that was unreadable on Youtube

Ruth sent it to me and Steve reposted it at

She does remarkable work and thanks Tom for the heads up

Will do the same with Marty Golibitskys similar presentation " Patterns Patterns

http://www.maa.org/news/102308charney.html

The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) continues to build
on their already solid online presence with the addition of this
lecture by noted mathematician and scholar Professor Ruth
Charney. This particular lecture was given at the MAA's Carriage
House Conference Center in the fall of 2008 and it deals with how
cubes can be used to represent a variety of systems. As Charney
notes, "The geometry of these spaces is strange, complicated, and
a lot of fun to study." Visitors to the site can watch several
particularly lucid examples from Charney's talk, read her
biography, and also read a detailed interview with her conducted
by Michael Pearson. [KMG]
