Agreed. The best way to find 'complexity' and perhaps aperiodicity is by using contradictory rules. source: my own quasicrystal simulations ( http://www.nature.com/nmat/journal/v14/n1/extref&#x2F

I don't think this would work for small-ish subs, would it? Most upvotes one gets might actually come from the same group of people...

I also use a homemade code to keep up with new papers. I feed in a .bib file with papers I like and use a Naive Bayes classifier to find papers I might like in news feeds (science, nature, PNAS, etc). It works pretty well. As a bonus you ca

Still got those images? I've been really interested, since I first heard Torquato mentioning hiperuniform patterns, circa 2010, what kinds of natural patterns exhibit it...

That is a good point. But without getting too technical (although I'd love too if wanted), there are 2 caveats with your thought: 1. Order does not need heat transfer. Flying birds form a V-shaped pattern (to minimize drag, whatever),

That is not strictly true. Most systems "minimizing their potential" exhibit a crystalline, ordered arrangement. Hyperuniform patterns are definitely a result of an optimization, but in this case it is a more complicated one than

Interesting. I have never quite thought about the example of trees but it's possible something like that is going on. If someone would know, it would be Geoffrey West from the Santa Fe Institute and indeed he delivers: http:/&#x2

Is there anything like this in 3D? I mean, hexagonal prisms instead of hexagons/triangles/squares? I know magicaVoxel does, well, voxels....
