Loops and the Lorenz Attractor
Chaos in Three Dimensions

After completing Chapter Six this week, my challenge was, "Where do I go from here?" Unlike with Functions and Conditionals, nothing I created seemed like an original composition, only iterations of the chapter work. So I went to the Internet looking for inspiration. I soon began to think that loops work more beautifully outside of their defined bubble. Loops seem to need the help of array lists, sine functions, particles, etc. to develop into something really exciting. Maybe this is just my opinion and a personal brain-block.
The Lorenz System (Lorenz Attractor) utilizes ordinary differential equations to visualize how the rate of change of a variable is affected by other variables in the system. I found the visual outcomes fascinating. I enjoyed changing the movement from point to connected lines or jagged edges. |
New concepts in addition to Loops and Lorenz Attractor:
|
Project in Run Mode over one hour
The evolution of my project
|
Original design starting with white points
Change points to Hue, Saturation and Brightness (HSB)
Sketch>Tweak View in Processing
Sketch>Present View
My goals going forward with the Lorenz Attractor:
|
Change points to complete fluid line by connecting dots
Insert offset to vary point locations
Because Lorenz Systems add the 3-D "z" position, viewing the project running in different Sketch modes was especially interesting.
