HexaMobius / 7.4.26 / Blender, EEVEE

For this one I start with a hexagonal grid of "kissing" circles, and apply a Mobius transformation on the complex plane. Since a Mobius transformation is conformal, the circles stay circles but we see the grid go off to infinity in the center of the image. If we were to zoom in, it would continue forever like a fractal. Each circle is still "kissing" six other circles in a hexagonal lattice structure. It might look like the large circle is only kissing 5 other circles, but the sixth circle is the entire outer bounds of the image, becoming essentially turned inside-out.

My current mathematical obsession is cellular automata, so please excuse my dear aunt sally the theme shift as it consumes me entirely. 😁

I’ve always loved cellular automata, in fact it was one of the first things I made when learning programming as a kid. I distinctly remember discovering the importance of not overwriting the cells as you’re checking their neighbors 😅

Now that I have a lot more knowledge and skills, I can explore all the crazy ideas I used to have, like cellular automata on a Möbius strip! Stay tuned :)

I mean how can you get tired of stuff like this!

And that's just sandpile-toppling, there's so many types of cellular automata as well. It's like Hilbert's Infinite Candy Shop.

A few plots of sandpile toppling. The typical rule is any cell with 4 or more grains topples by sending one to each neighbor. In general this kind of cellular automata is known as “chip firing” and is Abelian meaning unstable cells can be toppled in any order or even in parallel and still reach the same final state.

These plots are produced by dropping a million grains on the very center cell and having it all topple until stability. The cells are colored by how many grains of sand are on it. The different results come from changing the toppling rules; how many a cell can hold and how many go to each neighbor. Absolutely fascinating structure!

This structure is called a gyroid! It's triply periodic, meaning it repeats in the x, y, and z axes, and it's also a minimal surface. Imagine the swirling edges are a wire that you dip into soap, the bubble film that forms would take this shape. This is rendered volumetrically, meaning instead of a mesh it is evaluating density in 3D space.

Sneak peak of an animation I'm working on! The same Clifford Attractor system I've been exploring earlier. There's such an impressively wide range of structures hiding in just 3 xyz equations. The issue is that there are 6 parameters, which means looking for interesting stuff is basically navigating in 6D. Not all parameters make strange attractors like this, many converge to a few points or cycle. Exactly where it is and isn't a strange attractor isn't easy to determine either (it's actually a fractal!). So a lot of this has just been throwing darts at the 6-dimensional wall and if something cool pops up I zoom into that area.

This one was particularly strange (and the animation is extra fascinating). There's 9 'leafs' connected tip to tip forming a mobius-strip-esque loop in 3D space. Each leaf has perpendicular filaments that grow in number throughout the animation. It's been so much fun exploring this one!
