This model is researching the phenomena of population growth.










































Special focus is on observation of the individuals in the population.











































When certain threshold in properties is exceed, growing individuals emerge from grid topography. I am suggesting that in this moment also the topology of individuals is created, inside which individuals differentiate between each other by shape, size, thickness...
The growth of population is driven by gravitation and the degree of materiality of plaster, which are both intensive properties of individual forms, while extensive property is wire-hole, through which they emerge.
Procedure took several layers in time of plaster adding on the wire. In certain individuals we can observe stratification of these layers, when there was still some porosity available.

Miha, great work. I think there is some potential for furher analysis within this model, especially about the mentioned behaviours within your txt. The notion of behaviour and the issues of extensive and intensive moments within your model are described very good. About the emergence of Topology: Interesting thought about how the forming of connecctions, driven by intensive forces, result in Topology. Look for Sandras post on the model analysis tool. Think of it as a plan for possible architectures.
