4. The Commonality of the Three Rule
Amazingly, the simplicity of three rules
may lead to profound complexity
5. Singing Sand
A single grain of sand does not sing.
However; a pile of sand may sing if
three simple rules are adhered to.
No physical property of an individual
sand grain would lead one to think that
a large collection of them will transmit
sound.
This is an emergent properly that was
not planned.
I wrote about this topic in an earlier
presentation
6. Singing Sand- 2
Sand has to abide by three rules to
generate sound from sand. These rules
are:
3
2
1
The sand grains have to be
round and between 0.1 and
0.5 mm in diameter.
The sand has to
contain silica
The sand needs to
be at a
certain humidity
7. And Great Patterns
sound was caused by a synchronization of
grains that caused the surface of the falling
sand to behave like the cone of a speaker
Self-organizing sand that is sound-generating
simply because it abides by simple rules.
8. Emergent Properties
For a phenomenon to be termed
emergent it should unpredictable from a
lower level description. At the very
lowest level, the phenomenon usually
does not exist at all or exists only in trace
amounts: it is irreducible
9. Fish and Flying Birds
The three simple rules are extensible
to flying birds and school of fish
The rules are separate, align and keep
cohesion

change and
cultures?
