Algorithms of assembly.

New for 2002, a small, but significant contribution to the new publication from Friends of Ed titled Flash Math Creativity.

My contribution includes the exploration of three highly adaptable algorithmic methods applied to four examples, each with seven variations. Topics include construction using nested iterations, construction using recursion, and the chaotic geometric plotting of the Lorenz attractor. All algorithms are specially constructed for efficient use within Macromedia’s Flash 5 development environment.

Source code, explanations, theory, and mathematics from these authors:

Construction through Iteration, Variations, Jan 2002
A series of expansive geometric constructions using the same iterative technique. Minor modifications from one set to the next produced the images above. Each assembles with some degree of randomness, enabling millions of unique designs to be generated.    jtarbell, author

Construction through Recursion I, Variations, Jan 2002
A series of expansive geometric constructions using the same iterative technique. Minor modifications from one set to the next produced the images above. Each assembles with some degree of randomness, enabling millions of unique designs to be generated.    jtarbell, author

Construction through Recursion II, Variations, Jan 2002
A series of expansive geometric constructions using the same iterative technique. Minor modifications from one set to the next produced the images above. Each assembles with some degree of randomness, enabling millions of unique designs to be generated.    jtarbell, author

The Lorenz Attractor, Deterministic Chaos,Jan 2002
Implementations of the quasi periodic attractor set as defined by the transformation equations of Edward Lorenz. Variations include rotation of viewing camera in three space, permutations of shape and size, and experimental written characters.    jtarbell, author
