Thoughts - Ali Anani, PhD -Complexity
The idea of this presentation sprang up in my mind while standing nearby trees, which were dancing and singing with the wind
Idea are like trees they branch out and grow and suddenly they start dancing and whistling with the storms of brainstorming
I took a video of the scene.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaIRrqkoh48&feature=youtu.behttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaIRrqkoh48&feature=youtu.be
Can we predict where the wind shall send the branches?Stop the video and try to guess where a selected branch will move to
Even for a second in the future this forecast will be difficult to prove correct
Now, listen to the rhythm of the singing trees
Can you predict the next sound
Again, this prediction might be difficult even though you may notice some repeating pattern in the music.
A sound wave is the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium
As trees have fractal repeating patterns, so are sounds coming outof trees
The orderly trees make sounds of repeating patterns
Sound patterns coming out of the chaotic wind
We talk about the Butterfly Effect
How about The Wind Effect?
A butterfly effect starts when a butterfly flips its wingsA tree has many wingsI mean branches
When trees flip their branchesthey whistle as well leading tomaximized Butterfly Effect
Not only that as trees have built-in pendulums in their leaves structure
Stalk (Rebiola)
Leaf mass acting as ball
This way trees are composed of great number of pendulums moving with the wind togetherOut of their chaotic movements comes musical sounds
It is amazing how thesetree pendulums figure out toshout with certain patterns
I wonder if this leads toa valid suggestion!
Why not hold brainstorming sessions in a tree-format structure so that ideas patterns may appear.A tree rippling effect emerges influencing leaf and tree surrounding it
We need brainstorming sessions with rippling effects
Adjacent leaves go in different trajectories
The wind ensures that two adjacent leaves in a complex system will eventually end up in very different positions after some time has elapsed.
Watch the video again and see how true this is
A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales.
Do you feel the music coming from the trees in the video are ending?
This is complexity in action
Small changes may cause big effects in trees
Wax a tree leave andits behavior changes
Water on leaves
The drops of water magnifies the leaf and we discover that its structure is repeating
A tree leaf teaches us thatwe live in infinity
So are the lessons from trees
We may plant seeds of hate for a job, to give one example
So are the lessons from trees
The seed grows into a tree with infinite possibilities
Always plant the seeds of gratitude and spread
around the music of joy
