Patterns & Algorithms

--

Research


'Informally, an algorithm is any well-defined computational procedure that takes

some value, or set of values, as input and produces some value, or set of values, as

output. An algorithm is thus a sequence of computational steps that transform the

input into the output.'


Cymatic Patterns

Cymatics, from Greek: κῦμα, meaning "wave", is a subset of modal vibrational phenomena. The term was coined by Hans Jenny (1904-1972), a Swiss follower of the philosophical school known as anthroposophy. Typically the surface of a plate, diaphragm or membrane is vibrated, and regions of maximum and minimum displacement are made visible in a thin coating of particles, paste or liquid.[1] Different patterns emerge in the excitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency.

A ripple tank is a shallow glass tank of water used in schools and colleges to demonstrate the basic properties of waves.
