WIP update on my Chaos Warrior. Worked up some of the metal on the helm annd painted the cape lining.
This image shows how I programmed my computer to get the simulation of the Chaos Pendulum behavior. See explanation below.
the Lorenz curve
Edward lorenz pioneered into a topic called chaos. He started with the weather trying to improve forecasts. He looked at data of regions and there temperatures air flow and any other variables that he could coordinate. They were poured into a computer for analysis and he would look for a pattern. There was none which led him to see how random something could be. Wheather was a problem that was to complex so he started with an easier one. a pendulum, it was still two dimensional but led to a way in seeing things that had not previously been used. The aplications helped to unmystify jupiters red spot. The randomness that was occuring in the swirls and its seeming ly random movement leaned toward an attractor. an attractor was a point in the graph of phase space. in the graph of the pendulum the axes for graphing were speed on one axis and ange measure on the other. It did not matter the varience of the pendulum it was always attracted to one point, the farthest descent it could make which is when it is at rest. This attractor existed as a point on the graph. some attractors are not points but lines which make curves. The elements of the system whil be attracted to these lines. in the picture there is an expariment where a waterwheel with cylinders of fluid are attached at the circumference and filled with water. there is a hole in the bottom of the cylinders so the water can leak out. when the cylinders are filled with fluid the wheel turns and the pattern of its turning is never repeated. The system does have an attrator though. when energy is put in the system and a given position is available the results of its turning will always mirror the graph. This method of representing things in a new way led to the prediction of trends never before seen. An example given included the spread of small pox and measels. The data collected was random and seemed to have no direction but when organized by the new method an attractor was existant. The next move of the medical problem was applicably apparent.

Henry is hiding an entire loaf of bread behind his back. Mitty looks out the window after pushing the lens cap onto the floor.
LOL! This challenge was sitting right in front of me. It's where my office and sewing area meet. My friend asked if I would actually put this picture on Flickr. It's been a busy 2 months. Today is clean-up day.

Les phares de la forêt
Huelgoat abrite en Finistère une forêt légendaire et entourée de mystères. Dans son "Chaos du diable", Yann Kersalé a installé un brasero qui devient lanterne et transforme la rivière et son environnement en un bras rougeoyant.
"Ce sont des énormes pierres, des blocs qui sont de la taille de cette structure gonflable, qui sert d'écran et sur laquelle sont projetées de l'intérieur des images qui s'animent, progressivement, comme une respiration"
Yann Kersalé.

I had a professor in college who lectured us on ancient
Greek literature. One of these pieces was the Theogony of Hesiod. This poem deals with origins of the world, notably that everything started from Chaos. My little European professor had an accent that caused him to pronounce the word "cows".
He always said it quite emphatically, and to this day, whenever I hear/read/write the world chaos, I think of bovines, and my professor.

Chaos Obliterators finished, but yet to be painted. Built from plastic Chaos Terminators, many bits from other sprues both Chaos and otherwise, and some sculpted Kneadatite ("green stuff"). The scenic basing and green stuff were used to enhance the look of the finished models as well as to bulk them up to appropriately Obliterator sized proportions.
