FIELD CONDITIONS

NATURE OF THE FIELD

A field should be a representation of a collective form that is a diagram of forces (the operations of energy) in equilibrium. Then it is essential to elucidate what forces are at work and to find the most appropriate ways to represent each force and the relation it entails. (e.g. magnetic lines, topo lines)

FORMAL RELATIONSHIP

A field condition would be any formal or spatial matrix capable of unifying diverse elements while respecting the identity of each (monads?). Field conditions are relational, and not figural, they are based on interval and measure. Field configurations are inherently expandable; the possibility of incremental growth is anticipated in the mathematical relations of the parts.

To retain the classical principle that hierarchical distribution of parts to whole is constant, and individual elements are maintained in hierarchical order by extensive geometric relationships in order to preserve overall unity. Geometry is the invisible scaffold that at once controls the distribution of parts, but disappears in the final building.

Basic repeatable blocks/units -> placed in the field that is reflective of the forces->hierarchical distribution of the units based on the assumptions associated with the forces within a single system-> extensive geometric relationships created by overlapping systems-> overall form is an elaboration of conditions established locally.

Generate a simple algorithm, and the run it out like what we did with the ARCH 1502 exercise.
