  • a slowly expanding tangled ball can be seen, acted on by large, slightly unbalanced forces over a period of several minutes
  • forcevectors are much larger (1000x) than is recomended for solving knots, and unbalanced within a single order of magnitude.
  • even large changes in magnitude of the forces have little effect on the structure once it reaches a certain size, due to the 'potential energy' of the object.

  • a knot, with circular motion in the direction of the thread, with no update of the z-buffer.
  • in particular note the 'phase change' about 1/2 way thru, and the shift near the end caused by changes in magnitude or each force
  • xc

kinda messy, but should serve to illustrate…
