The angles of rotation are based off of the the 1/2" pieces. I set up a proportion so that the relationship between Dexter and Meridan effects the relationship between Dexter and Stacey.

Chaotic maps occur in the study of dynamic systems. Chaotic maps take the form of iterated functions and have a continuous time behavior often generating fractals. Although a fractal may be constructed by an iterative procedure, some fractals are studied in and of themselves, as sets rather than in terms of the map that generates them.

I have decided to derive the angle of rotation from the angles used in the 1/2 inch pieces because they become somewhat hidden inside the 1/4 inch pieces, and it would be nice to display that information. Chart:

I am updating my blog with pictures of my first generation basswood field, and its corresponding paper sketch models. Initially I was not an advocator of the axon drawing, because I didn't see how representing what I already had was going to help me develop the rotation I am trying to achieve in my field. So, I decided to do a drawing of the control points which are the triangles in my field, and then do an overlay of the rotated triangles that will be in my new field. I am constructing my drawings based off of the diagrammatic drawing I developed of the triangles. From there I create an elevation of my field and introduce the 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch thicknesses, then from the elevation I create a plan. The plan finally allows me to contruct the requested axon.

As I look at your diagram(s) I can see a sort of datum line, the dashed line moving through each notation, this is contantly changing in through each notation, although the third notation less than the first two...is there a way you can use the information held in each of these dashed datum lines to influence the regular mirrored datum line in your model, and allow it to not be just a mirroring line?? Maybe this sets up a parameter as to how far off center the unit can move from the "center line" this seems to follow your core/center concept as a point of interest as stated in your recipe...

I'm trying to vary the datum line and rotate the pieces, but I am having difficulty deciding where to do it, because every part of the field is holding some kind of information. I just have to decide what part to let go. I'm kind of sad.

I have been researching crystallography and rotational formations as suggested at the review. I think that rotation and a varied datum line will improve my field, and I am currently developing a system to rebuild using these techniques. This is some of the information I have gathered that I think is applicable to my project, and could be used to improve my text:

A generalized form of a symmetry operation has been derived. The field is a space formed by the relationship of reciprocal pieces. Rotation matrices and translation vectors contribute to the understanding of symmetry in space and its implications. They aid in determining origin specification, systematic enhancement, centric and A centric reflections, and group determinations.

The mirror plane can reflect a face from one side of the crystal to the other. Consequent to being reflected by a mirror plane, the reflected face must be identical but reversed in orientation. A rotational axis is an imaginary line drawn through the crystal. The face is repeated at various intervals during the rotation around the axis. The face is identical to the original face when viewed head on. In other words, if the face has a right handed slant, after the rotation the face maintains the right handed slant. The rotoinversion axis goes one step further, by inverting the face through the crystals center to the other side after rotation. The resulting face is completely flipped, up is down and right is left.

THE TRICLINIC SYSTEM

The Triclinic system is the lowest symmetry system in crystallography. It has only a center, and the crystallographic axes are inclined with respect to each other. They axes are of differing lengths, and no angle equals 90 degrees. The rotation is on an wqual interval about the crystallographic axis. Faces on one side of the crystal are inverted to the other side. The inversion switches everything about the individual faces. What is left is right and what is up is down.
