Research Paper Organization – 04/03/2018

Organization:

• Two mathematical concepts explored
  • Cellular Automata
    • Modified cellular automata where you can see the previous generations
    • Initial randomization from the buttons pressed
      • Randomization where it will pick between certain numbers: range
  • L-Systems
• Heuristic we developed originally
  • How the analysis was done
    • Blobs and how they were analyzed : k-means, shape identification, size identification
    • Colors and how they were sorted: k-means
  • Cellular automata heuristic
  • L-System heuristic
• Survey we did
  • How it was designed, what were the goals
  • Feedback recieved
    • Number of participants
    • Any bias in the survey
      • CS/Math majors, bias in calling it art/who developed it.
    • What the results were
      • How we interpreted these results for our hypothesis
• Heuristic revisions
  • New cellular automata heuristic
  • New l-system heuristic
• Genetic algorithm
  • Things on the brochure
    • original seeds
    • mutation
    • crossover
    • selection from top ten
    • generations run
• Results of this algorithm: did this make images that you expected? How would you further refine it?
  • Discuss the conclusions later

Goals:

Paragraph for Odyssey Completion

Lay this out into google documents

Start at beginning, do first two large bullet points
