[FRIAM] Eco-Art+Science Tech Help?

[Phil Henshaw]

The visual display of real system structures and behaviors is a great
new field.   I've found that the tools people are using are somewhat
programming intensive however.  The NetSci people are doing marvelous
things and I posted some links a month or so ago on FRIAM.   I'm more
into the fundamental methods side of recognizing natural systems and
their behaviors.  See if my approach to identifying natural system
'cybernetic body parts' and 'phases of emergence' and the links to
NetSci, SASO and IWSC communities from http://www.synapse9.com/PICS.htm
helps.   One direct application I developed recently is an energy use
measure for planners and developers doing sustainable design
http://www.synapse9.com/design/dollarshadow.htm which employs the
'shocking' discovery that producing $'s uses the same amount of energy
all over the world to draw the big picture...  Maybe that's too much all
at once..., but if you like something and have some idea to test out I'd
be happy to make suggestions.
