Project: Respond to readings about anticipation, particularly as it may be used for communication.

Theory: I was particularly interested in two definitions of anticipation by Mihai Nadin:

Anticipation is an expression of the connectedness of the world, in particular of quantum non-locality.

Anticipation is an attractor within dynamic systems.

With connectedness and attraction as my two main themes, I set about creating a system whose elements would not just react to, but act in concert with the user’s input. Specifically, the idea is to use the element of anticipation (instead of words) to communicate instruction about how to interact and trigger events within the system.

Medium: This is my first project done using Processing. I won’t say anything more about the interface -- just try it out and leave a comment. Was it successful?
