I wonder what those would look like if you had multiple oscillators that could move around the plate along the gradient of lowest resistance to their oscillation, sort of like the opposite of the flour. I'm also curious if there's a way of extending (or reducing?) this bulk material resonance to graphs of incompletely interconnected nodes.
