The Last Theory

Animating the hypergraph with Dugan Hammock


Listen Later

Dugan Hammock creates beautiful animations of three-dimensional cross-sections through four-dimensional spaces.

But his animations aren’t mere mathematical abstractions. He has also applied his geometrical skills to animating the hypergraph of Wolfram Physics, in such a way that it doesn’t jump from frame to frame.

In this second part of my recent conversation with Dugan, we talk about his extending spring-electrical embedding into an additional time dimension...

...and we show some of the beautifully smooth animations that come out of it.
