The experiment that Tim Keller mentioned above reminds me of Jared's 'Happy Place' piece: http://www.complexification.net/gallery/machines/happyPlace/index.php As always, very inspiring. Thanks.

I'd like to see this demo. It intrigues me to throw a bunch of objects randomly into a virtual space and watch them quickly organize themselves into a sphere. Wish I had paid more attention in math and physics class though. So much I want to do with this project, but my knowledge of spherical math is lacking. I finally got an audio responsive version working and the results are nice. Going to prepare a couple videos and hopefully have them, and the source code, posted at flight404 by the end of the weekend. Fingers crossed. Sounds intriguing. I’d like to see this demo.

Took me a few minutes to find a description but here it is: "How do we shape emergence? Great demo at the end: Give people a slip of paper saying who they like and who they hate. They are to move towards those they like and away from those they hate. With random initial conditions, we get the same pattern: a rotating line within a following circle. Eric ran the simulation and it was, well, cool." (taken from http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/mtarchive/2003_04.html ).
