🧵 "#Criticality: A Balance Between #Robustness and #Adaptability"

Today's SFI Seminar by @cgershen @cgg_mx:

Regarding systems at the #EdgeOfChaos
Identifying #PhaseTransition dynamics
Citing @WagnerEvolution on #Robustness
Contrasting it with #Chaos (fragile, hard to predict, etc.)
And then #Criticality, somewhere in the middle... ImageImageImageImage
With #criticality, due to #PowerLaw(-like) distributions:

"Most of the changes will be small, but for some, you can have large changes."

Key history point: Stuart Kauffman's #random #Boolean #networks (1969!)

Version 2.0 of my (free, online) L-System Visualizer App is out. (#fractals @madewithunity)

What's the big deal? Well, color, for one: A line drawing of a fractal...
@madewithunity The colors show the iteration of the L-system's development that introduced/added/inserted that portion of the fractal. The most obvious way to see that as happening is via interpolation. That is, you can see the fractal as growing from within, with new "nodes' being inserted: Image
Some fractals, however, start with the same set of moves in each iteration. Thus, you can see new nodes as being appended to the previously-placed nodes. Instead of scattering colors throughout, you end up with regions of new color: A drawing of two copies of ...

You can now share the #fractals you find using L-System Visualizer. Here's one I found the other day:

To hunt for fractals, go to micahtillman.com/lsviz/. The app (made with @unity3d) will generate a URL for each figure you find, which you can then send to others. They can then examine the L-system you created, and derive variants from it.
v 1.1 of the app also greatly improves memory usage, which means the complexity of the systems/fractals you create is now only limited by your patience and CPU speed.

Can #Fractals be used to find the probable reversal on charts? Can it be used to find probable top and bottoms on #Stock Charts. Alone they might not. But lets dig into this possibility. I promised few days back of another model to find top and bottom. +
@rohit_katwal Fractals refer to a recurring pattern that occurs amid larger more chaotic price movements. Fractals are composed of Three or more bars. The rules for identifying fractals are as follows:
+
@rohit_katwal A bearish turning point occurs when there is a pattern with the highest high in the middle and two lower highs on each side.
A bullish turning point occurs when there is a pattern with the lowest low in the middle and two higher lows on each side.

Making things with your hands is wonderfully therapeutic - great for stress relief & attaining a state of flow.

With that in mind: a thread of hands-on 3D maths projects for lockdown👇👇👇

#3DMaths #HandsOnMaths #LockdownMaths #ArtfulMaths #Mathsart #MathArt #MakersGonnaMake
1) First off, one of my old favourites: a dodecahedral kusudama flower ball 🌸😍🌸

You could make a daffodil-yellow version for Easter... 🐰🐣💐

Instructions: wikihow.com/Make-a-Kusudam… & wikihow.com/Make-a-Kusudam…

#3DMaths #HandsOnMaths #LockdownMaths #ArtfulMaths
2) Something yummy next: a self-supporting, hyperbolic paraboloid @Pringles ring 😋😋😋

More info here: interestingengineering.com/geometry-of-pr…

Or use Erik Demaine’s instructions to fold paper versions: erikdemaine.org/hypar/
