This explorable illustrates the dynamics and properties of the famous Ising Model of statistical mechanics. It's a lattice of spins / magnets arranged on a lattice. Each spin interacts with its neighbors and tried to align its direction with the neighborh
The XY model is a key model of statistical mechanics. Among other things, it describes self-organization of spatially arranged magnets but also concepts like opinion dynamics in social systems.
This explorable illustrates the emergence of collective intelligence in a model for a school of fish. The combination of speed differences in the light and the dark and cohesive swarm forces helps the swarm find the safe regions.
This explorable illustrates spontaneous pattern formation in a spatial model in which points on a lattice interact by local positive feedback and negative long-range feedback.
This explorable illustrates a stockastic cellular automaton, a simple model that is able to generate fractal growth structures and a diverse set of patterns.
This explorable illustrates the chaotic sea of the famous two-dimensional map known as the kicked rotator or standard map. It's a very important system in nonlinear dynamics.
This explorable illustrates oscillatory dynamics and spatio-temporal patterns in the most famous predator prey model on a lattice.
This explorable is an implementation of Conway's Game of Life, one of the most famous cellular automata models for the emergence of structure, replication and complex behavior generated by simple rules.
This explorable illustrates a model for fractal growth patterns in natural systems based on the aggregation of randomly moving particles.
This explorable illustrates a famous game theoretic model, known as the prisoner's dilemma. On a lattice it can yield beautiful patterns and chaos.
This explorable illustrates the basic mechanism in evolutionary processes and how a population's fitness increases by random mutation and selection of most fit variants.
The explorable illustrates the properties of superdiffusive, scale-free random walks known as Lévy flights.
This explorable illustrates the phenomenon of percolation, when e.g. a liquid like water moves through a porous medium, like coffee. The percolation process is a critical phenomenon that exhibits interesting properties at the critical porosity of the medi
This explorable illustrates a model for traffic and congestion and the phenomenon knowns as phantom traffic jams, spontaneously emergent congested traffic segments that move slowly and oppositely to the traffic.
The explorable illustrates the behavior of a contagion process, like an epidemic. Susceptibles (S) can be infected by other infected sites (I), infected site become immune and recover (R), and when immunity wanes immune sites become susceptible again.
Dieses explorable zeigt ein einfaches Verkehrsmodell, das in der Lage ist die spontane Entstehung von sogenannt Phantomstaus zu beschreiben, die sich entgegen der Verkehrsrichtung ausbreiten, wenn die Zielgeschwindigkeiten einzelener Verkehrsteilnehmer gr
