Forum for discussion of alternate models of the Reciprocal System, based on information deduced in the RS2 reevaluation (Formerly Reciprocal Lineland). Theoretical model and computer model topics are appropriate here.
Though I initially started development with C++, I have moved to Java because of portability problems with Windows (Vista, in particular). So far, it seems to run fairly well on Linux (tested on Fedora, CentOS and Cygwin), Mac, Windows XP and Vista.
After trying MANY different canned programs, libraries and resources, I have settled on using the following for development:
Java 6 (or 1.6)
NetBeans IDE (project-based in groups)
Subversion code management system (testing on server now, will be available to developers).
OpenGL graphics, including the "glu" and "glut" libraries for primitives.
JOGL (Java OpenGL) interface library (started with Java3D, but they don't seem to be supporting it any more).
Webstart for Java 6 for large application deployment; applets for smaller applications.
Depending on theology, the initial state of the universe is either "void" or "one-ness", unity. From the void state, a single being usually emerges (such as Ymir in the Norse), again bringing the initial state to a unity. So, in the beginning, there was One-ness:
Which is a uniform motion prior to the dichotomy of space and time--a progression--but as yet, no direction. Most western theology has an opposition to this progression ("free will"), which Larson calls it a "direction reversal" where the initial condition is "outward" and the opposition is "inward." Eastern theologies, however, start with the concept of akasha, the aether, which is opposed by aksara brahma, which means "non-involuting"--in other words, the initial condition is "inward" and the opposition is "outward".
I've always been a big fan of the "Flatland" concept used as an aide to understand dimensional interactions. So... I started thinking what would happen if we created an "Reciprocal System Flatland"... a 2-dimensional universe instead of a three-dimensional one? Might be a lot easier to conceive, because as a 3-dimensional observer, you could actually draw it on a sheet of paper.
Or better yet, as "A Square" found out when taken to "Lineland"... a 1-dimensional universe? Should make the relationships a bit more obvious, and may be a good method to refine them for later use in 2D and 3D.
