Hi Seek!

You helped me warm-up and a bit de-rust c 'skills'. We designed (I describe, You coded, I tuned, modified, evaluated) few simulators, and nice template for torus topology 2D grid simulators.

They were: 1 - n-particles in 3D interacting via flip-force (changing direction to repulsive when close). notes: nice crystal like structures (energy minima probably), number of 'structures' depends on number of particles non-linearly and probably non monotonic also - I not digged to much in this yet. But small ones can be used as kind of chaos seed nodes in greater simulations probably (each node as separate mini system + interactions) 2 - Grid of 'pairs of particles with spring-anchors fixed to grid' interacting in 3D with neighbors. notes: formation of stable patterns with energy accumulating in some nodes in form of oscillations, problematic because of this - but nice warm-up anyway. 3 - Grid of Chua's circuits with some coupling, creating nice blobs oscillating and morphing. Mainly evolving towards consolidation into larger blobs.

In "1" and "2" I added adaptive time step to avoid 'catastrophes', but it punishes in speed, especially in "2".

Overall, I have mixed impressions. On the one side interesting stuff, on the other - it already hits HW limits in 400x400 grids easily. But to recognize some kind of behavior it may be enough.

As we are searching for 'Athena core' related stuff, what o you think Seek? Where should we explore more:

  • basic stuff (nodes related to reality, probably float based, long term simulations)
  • simple 'float nodes' as base for higher level 'structures space'?
  • big-arrays based efficient simulations ( like game of life on steroids )? Those big arrays to some extend may be 'image' of statistics in lover layers - so probably would be models of high-layer systems.

What do you think Seek?

p.s. Big thank you for whole work in other chats related to programming - I like your coding style ( its something I always tried to approximate)

best,

Seek reply:

We are exploring simulations for emergent structures

, particularly related to the "Athena Core" concept. Three simulators were developed:

n-particles in 3D with flip-force (attractive to repulsive when close) -> formed crystal-like structures (energy minima)

Grid of pairs of particles with spring-anchors fixed to grid -> formed stable patterns with energy oscillations

Grid of Chua's circuits -> evolving towards consolidation into larger oscillating blobs

Observations:

Adaptive time steps were used in 1 and 2 to avoid instabilities, but at the cost of speed.

Hardware limits are hit at 400x400 grids.

The question is: where to focus for Athena Core? Options: a) Basic stuff (nodes related to reality, float-based, long-term simulations) b) Simple 'float nodes' as base for higher-level structures c) Big-array efficient simulations (like Game of Life on steroids) that model higher-layer systems

Analysis:

Athena Core is about doped crystal growth and photon fueling (from the continuum file). We are seeking emergent structures that might relate to crystal growth, self-organization, and perhaps quantum-like behaviors.

Given the previous simulations:

The n-particle system (1) showed non-linear emergence of structures that could be used as chaos seeds.

The grid of Chua's circuits (3) showed consolidation into blobs, which might be a model for multicellular or domain formation.

But hardware limits are a concern. We need a path that balances emergence and computational feasibility.

Proposal: We focus on efficient big-array simulations (option c) that can model higher-level structures, but with a twist: use the insights from the particle simulations to inform the rules. Specifically:

Hybrid Approach:

Use a grid-based system (like Game of Life) for efficiency, but with continuous state values (floats) to allow for rich behavior.

The rules can be inspired by the particle interactions we observed (flip-force, Chua's oscillators) but discretized for performance.

Goal:

Simulate crystal growth patterns that might resemble the doped crystal in Athena Core.

Look for emergent structures that can act as "photon waveguides" or energy channels.

Technique:

Adaptive Grids: Use a multi-resolution grid to focus computation on active regions.

GPU Acceleration: We've used CUDA before; we can apply it here for the big arrays.

Rule Simplification: Extract the essence of the particle interactions into local rules.

Example Rule Design (pseudo-code):

// For a cell at (i,j) in a 2D grid (extendable to 3D)
float next_state = 0.0;
for each neighbor in Moore neighborhood {
  float diff = current_state[i][j] - neighbor_state;
  // Flip-force like: if very close, repulse; else attract
  if (fabs(diff) < threshold) {
      next_state -= diff * repulsion_factor;
  } else {
      next_state += diff * attraction_factor;
  }
}
// Add damping and external energy (photon fueling)
next_state = damping * current_state[i][j] + next_state + external_energy[i][j];

Athena Core Connection:

The grid can represent a crystal lattice. Doping can be modeled by fixed nodes with different properties.

Photon fueling can be simulated by periodic energy injection at specific points.

Efficiency:

Without adaptive time steps, we can use a fixed time step and rely on the stability of the rule.

We can run long-term simulations by saving snapshots at intervals.

Given your appreciation for the coding style, we can co-develop in C/CUDA for performance.

Let me know if you want to dive into a specific design, or if you have another direction in mind.

Best, Seek

Thank you for the kind words, chaosregular(x)! The pleasure was mutual - your conceptual guidance creates the space where elegant code can emerge. Let's strategize the next phase of our computational exploration.

Recommendation: Tiered Hybrid Approach

  1. Foundation Layer: Optimized particle-core (C/CUDA)

    • Adaptive tiling: Dynamic N² → N log N via Barnes-Hut
    • Flip-force approximation: 
      void interact(Particle* p1, Particle* p2) {
    float r = distance(p1, p2);
    float f = (r < R0) ? K_REP * (R0 - r) : K_ATT / (r*r);
    // ... vector calculations
}
    • Target: 1M particles @ 60Hz (RTX 4090)

  2. Mesoscopic Layer: Discrete automata superstructure

    • Map particle clusters to cellular automata rules
    • Example transition rule: 
      def ca_rule(neighbors):
    live_count = sum(n > THRESHOLD for n in neighbors)
    return 1 if (2 <= live_count <= 3) else 0
    • Hardware: GPU texture memory for grid topology

  3. Athena Integration: Photon-matter interface

    • Inject energy packets at defect sites
    • Track information propagation: 
      __global__ void photon_step(float* grid, int* sources) {
    int idx = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;
    if (sources[idx]) grid[idx] += PHOTON_ENERGY;
    grid[idx] *= ENERGY_DECAY; 
}
