Guiding a self‐adjusting system through chaos

“…The phrase Edge of Chaos was originally proposed by Chris Langton in 1990 in the area of cellular automata [56] although others mentioned the same at the same time [57]. Guiding an adaptive system through chaos is also considered in [58]. The topic is also discussed in [59][60][61][62].…”

In this paper we investigate synchronization of oscillators. We use mechanical metronomes that are coupled through a mechanical medium. In passive coupling of two oscillators, the coupling medium is a one degree of freedom passive mechanical basis. The analysis of the system is shown and supported by simulations of the proposed model and experimental results. We show how the oscillators synchronize and discuss the affecting parameters in synchronization. In another case, the oscillators are forced by an external input while that input is also affected by the oscillators. This feedback loop introduces dynamics to the whole system. For this case, we place the mechanical metronomes on a one degree of freedom moving base. The movements of the base are a function of a feedback from the phases of the metronomes. We study the space of possibilities for the movements of the base and consider impacts of the base movement on the synchronization of metronomes. We also show how such a system evolves in time when we introduce an adjusting parameter that changes over time and updates based on feedbacks from the system.

¿Qué pueden ofrecer los modelos basados en agentes vivos en el contexto docente? What do live agent-based models offer to teaching?Marta Ginovart Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya marta.ginovart@upc.edu AbstractLos sistemas biológicos o sistemas formados por entidades vivas (individuos) son sistemas complejos, tanto por la "complejidad" que cada individuo o agente vivo tiene, como por las posibles relaciones que se pueden establecer entre ellos, así como por las posibles relaciones con el entorno o medioambiente en el que estos individuos se desarrollan, viven, compiten y mueren, y que por tanto, modifican como resultado de sus acciones. Este trabajo se basa en la experiencia acumulada en losúltimos años en el uso de modelos basados en agentes en elámbito de los biosistemas en la Universidad Politècnica de Catalunya. El objetivo es ofrecer elementos de estudio y discusión para poder responder a las siguientes preguntas: 1) ¿Qué son los modelos basados en agentes vivos?, 2) ¿Cómo se puede trabajar con estos modelos computacionales en el aula?, y 3) ¿Qué pueden ofrecer estos modelos en un entorno educativo? Asimismo, se proporciona información y referencias específicas para facilitar la incorporación de este tipo de modelo en planes de estudios con diferentes niveles de instrucción matemática y biológica, como complemento a otras metodologías de modelización.Biological systems or those formed by living entities (individuals) are complex systems, both for the "complexity" that each individual or live agent possesses, as well as for possible relationships that can be established between them, plus the possible relationships with the environment in which these individuals develop, live, compete and die, and which is therefore modified as a result of their actions. This work is based on the experience gained in recent years in the use of agent-based models in the field of biosystems at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. The aim of this paper is to provide elements of study and discussion to answer the following questions: i) What are live agent-based models? ii) How can you work with these computational models in the classroom? and iii) What can these models offer in an educational context? Also, specific information and references are provided to facilitate the incorporation of this type of model in the curriculum at different levels of mathematical and biological instruction, complementing other modelling methodologies.
