More playing with the social aspect of the Autonomous Node Economy framework. Here personal space and group clustering are driving the motivation of each node (e.g. desired movement). All nodes are visualized as spirographs that display aspects of their current behavioral state. There are no external forces acting on the individual nodes by the overall system, each node freely moves as it desires.
This sketch was done in Processing.

Named after Swedish entomologist Charles De Geer.
I took the same picture back in September 2017 and was the first picture in my "Green Estate" series using Lynch's 5 elements of the city descriptors. Since then this play area has been described as being like Chernobyl in the UK National press.
For context behind the wall is the River Cole and the Cole valley, to my right is a fairly new housing estate and a magnificent ancient oak tree that deserves TPO (Tree Protection Order) status (there are no TPOs in North Solihull), and over my left shoulder Bacons End Bridge (a grade 2 listed foot and road bridge from 1764).
This whole area is due to be flattened to provide road access to the Simon Digby field for a new housing estate.

Bug Guide says this is a Pearl Crescent.
I found this blister beetle crossing a suburban trail in Durham, North Carolina (USA) on 15 September 2020 and captured it for some detailed photos. I think it is:
Clematis Blister Beetle - Epicauta cinerea (possibly a male; 19 mm length)

As 2019 closes, thoughts of new beginnings stream anew, meandering; encountering obstacles; redirecting. The path forward is unclear, but the water will find the way.

She's balanced without the base, but having the base there gives me more peace of mind.
Also, as a side node, photographing a model that's mostly black still isn't any fun.
In the course of Ars Electronica Home Delivery and under the title “Node.Linz”, artist Fadi Dorninger not only deliverd current pieces in the Ars Electronica Center's Deep Space 8K but also timeless works from the late 80s and 2001.

"Node", a 102 ft. tall pubic art sculpture by New York artist Roxy Paine (1966- ) at the Yerba Buena/Moscone MUNI (Municipal Transportation) station in San Francisco, California.
"Node" is the tallest freestanding sculpture in the city. The stainless-steel form reaches upward from a 5 1/2-foot-thick base reminiscent of a tree trunk. From there, it curves as it extends upward gradually tapering until it's just a quarter of an inch thick at its peak. The sculpture was intended to function as a way-finding landmark for the station.
These nodes, placed along the upper level platforms, mark where the streets above lie. Each one is lit up in a different color, marking 45th to 48th street with shades of green, blue and purple.
Node 1, the first element of the International Space Station to be manufactured in the United States and the first to be launched on the Space Shuttle, is unloaded in its container from an Air Force C-5 jet cargo transport at Kennedy Space Center's (KSC) Shuttle Landing Facility runway on June 23, 1997, after its arrival from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The module was then transported to the Space Station Processing Facility. The Node 1 module was launched aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on STS-88 on December 4, 1998 along with Pressurized Mating Adapters (PMAs) 1 and 2. The 18-foot in diameter, 22-foot-long aluminum module was manufactured by the Boeing Co. at MSFC. Node 1 functions as a connecting passageway to the living and working areas of the International Space Station. It has six hatches that serve as docking ports to the U.S. laboratory module, U.S. habitation module, an airlock and other Space Station elements.

Observations from a trip to the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, October 2006.
Wild Olive Tortoise Beetle - Physonota alutacea (large larvae, 10-12 mm)
These bizarre creatures were found on their host plant, Wild Olive (Cordia boissieri - Boraginaceae), a small native tree. BugGuide says that "undisturbed" adults are silvery, but all those I saw had a mostly transparent covering. Larvae are bizarre segmented creatures that remind me of trilobites. They have tail-like appendages that resemble the fleshy appendages of some caterpillars, so I wonder if they are mimics.

'Although Oscar Newman’s seminal Defensible Space was a decade away from publication, it is clear that Brooke House provided a sense of communal surveillance to a city centre otherwise devoid of population after closing time, allowing Basildon to avoid a situation where its centre could become a ‘nogo area’
