Some external factors induce a self-organisation versus an at-traction or repulsion. Light for example can’t be set as an at-tractor. Light income has to be evaluated and the reaction will concern both the space itself and the surroundings spaces.

To illustrate this idea with light evaluation, the shadow of surrounding spaces on one box could affect the box itself (going forward) or could act on surrounding spaces (moving away of light path).

Another example of self-or-ganization are balconies. The sketch is set to prohibit 2 li-vingrooms to be one over the other (between 2 floors).

COMPUTING Physical bodies - Collisions

Definition of bodies

square extended square

inscribed circumscribed

« A simple particle system physics engine for Processing. I’ve designed this to be application / domain agnostic. All this is supposed to do is let you make particles, apply forces and calculate the positions of particles over time in real-time. Anything else you need to handle yourself. »

We extended the Traer Physics library to consider spaces as physical bo-dies, which means that spaces are calculated as solid elements without overlapping.

In the two spheri-cal calculation op-tions, the system is really optimized as all springs are in their optimal length. In the square method, the system is less stable as springs are ex-tended.

ParticleSystem - takes care of gravity, drag, making particles, applying forces and advancing the simulation.

Particles - they move around in 3D space based on forces you’ve applied to them.

Springs - they act on two particles

Attractions - which also act on two particles
