Visual Chaos app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: Oleg Stroganov
First release : 25 Apr 2013
App size: 2.4 Mb
With this app you can explore certain kinds of chaos permeating everyday life. You can play with it and see how chaos turns in to order and how strange and beautiful patterns emerge.
The app makes use of the Ising model from statistical physics. It simulates evolution of two-dimensional grid of interacting cells using Metropolis algorithm. The app may be used to demonstrate emergence of magnetic properties, the nature of critical temperature and phase transitions.
Features:
- The system is interactive: you can change general temperature or external magnetic field on the go, during the simulation.
- You can modify local temperature and magnetic field by touching the lattice with your finger.
- The app contains tour on seven different types of chaos and order.
- An emergent state with 4 concurrent phases is available for exploration.
