Every cell in my body...
[20 November]
...screams that I should try harder to find a way of making the corner construct the space for me. How can I do this? Maybe by turning to a cellular automata analogy? One cell, the corner cell, holds the information for the rest of the cells that fill the space? Since the corner cell has a curve running through it, this curve is continued through space as more cells are added, thus creating the bounding edge between the surfaces that connect to it...
A quick look back through the pages of Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science, and then a rather frantic sketching session begins:
After which I try my hand at making a cellular automa model (based on a stacking of Wolfram's Rule 110):
And then a rather crude look at how this could work if the corner was a structural member that sets in motion the production of a kind of truss (strangely, this was originally inspired by Jakob+MacFarlane's Conflict - yes, I know it looks nothing like it):
This isn't working. I don't really think it's the way to go, but on the other hand, it did give me some new insights into what I'm trying to achieve: the notion that the corner holds information about its extension/continuation.
