Mechanical Pendulums vs Wittgenstein

In mechanics, in the area of dynamical system, a N-tuple pendulum is a set of N simple pendulums attached to each other. These N-tuple pendulums are physical systems that exibits rich dynamical behavior. For certain energies, are the motion of these mechanical pendulums often chaotic. You can influence the motion of the pendulums by holding your device in different positions. The equations of motions of these pendulums has been derived using the Sophia mechanical package. The different set of differential equations are solved using the 4:th order Runge-Kutta method for the time stepping. Within this application you can switch between these mechanical pendulums: - Double - Triple - Quadruple - Quintuple - Sextuple - Octuple - Symmtric Double - Simple 3-Dimensional The visualization of the pendulums can be viewed in either a Quartz view or in an OpenGL view.

A slow, careful encounter with Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. Each proposition appears as a fill-in-the-blank — one word missing, two options to choose from. You read carefully, weigh each word, and feel why Wittgenstein chose this one. The Tractatus, from "The world is everything that is the case" to the closing silence.
