Our software ‘Ready’ is being used in some interesting studies. Here for understanding the cuticles on the feet of stick insects, in a paper by Thies H. Büscher (@h_buscher) et al. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rsif.2018.0281 https://github.com/GollyGang/ready

How did you confirm it, in the end?
Makes me think - what would a VR headset for a spider look like? With eight eyes it would need more complicated lenses. Also it was recently discovered that spiders get depth perception from defocus, which is tough for VR at the moment. https://twitter.com/markiplier/status/1195903767520006144

Replying to @tim_hutton
Based on this idea, here’s a design for a table. Simply made out of two pieces of plywood, one bent into a curve and fitting into two slots in the other. No glue or fixings needed - the tension will hold it tight.

Many years ago I wrote a Java applet called “Organic Builder” that made you solve puzzles in an artificial chemistry. Later it became an Android app called “Living Physics”. Now it is live on the web, with 30 puzzles ranging from very easy to pretty tough: https://github.com/timhutton/livingphysics

How do you sample that uniformly?
Replying to @NathanielVirgo
I can’t see how to prove that that’s enough for this set of forbidden 2x2’s. Consider the opposite case, where those 2x2’s are the only ones allowed.
Replying to @NathanielVirgo
Or even if some patterns are harder to reach that could skew your sample.
It’s such a nice result that it would be worth the effort in proving it.

Should be easy, since processing.js supports them. Will get right on it.
Replying to @danbri
Should be working now, can you test it for me?
Replying to @danbri
Pulling the atoms around should work too. It’s not perfect - sometimes the touchEnd event is lost, leaving an atom stuck.

touchEnd issue now fixed.

Thanks Adam, that means a lot to me.
Unlike Organic Builder, Living Physics doesn’t (yet) have variables, which makes entering solutions a bit more boring. I’ll have to work on that.
