disordered hyperuniformity in chicken retinas
This looks like an interesting idea for a quilt...
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0224124212.htm ....but I've got no idea how you'd do it. Some sort of random decision maker like a coin flip or dice throw, combined with some extra rules about keeping identical colours far enough apart? Somehow or other chickens manage it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

That looks like a crazy quilt to me (http://cqmagonline.com/vol04iss02/ articles/431/431a.jpg, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_quilting) with about 5 or so priamry colors on a white sheet with the sheet showing through on a semi-regular basis. Just goes to show if you see something that looks like it would be an interesting pattern, someone else probably also has, and has figured out how to make it. Brian Christiansen |
