== Drawing Homeostats == | |||
=== About === | |||
In this class we will learn about the homeostat and the mobile homeostat, and how to implement them | |||
* '''The Homeostat''' — in the 1st part we recreate the homeostat by Ross Ashby in code. | |||
* '''The Mobile Homeostat''' — in the 2nd part we create a drawing machine based on Ashby's Homeostat. | |||
=== Goals === | |||
* Basics of oscillators, synchronisation, and homeostasis | |||
* Basics of modelling complex systems | |||
* Programming a drawing-agent based on the ideas of homeostasis and meta-stability | |||
