# gst: beyond interpolation toward invention, the hypothesis of selective imperfection as a generative framework for analysis, creativity and discovery.

<< ️(AA) introduce materiomusic as a generative framework linking the hierarchical structures of matter with the compositional logic of music. Across proteins, spider webs and flame dynamics, vibrational and architectural principles recur as tonal hierarchies, harmonic progressions, and long-range musical form. >>

<< ️(They) show how sound functions as a scientific probe, an epistemic inversion where listening becomes a mode of seeing and musical composition becomes a blueprint for matter. >>

<< ️Selective imperfection provides the mechanism restoring balance between coherence and adaptability. >>

<< ️(They) show how swarm-based AI models compose music exhibiting human-like structural signatures such as small-world connectivity, modular integration, long-range coherence, suggesting a route beyond interpolation toward invention. (They) show that science and art are generative acts of world-building under constraint, with vibration as a shared grammar organizing structure across scales. >>

FonT:  apropos of 'selective imperfection', at one time I was surprised by the structure of a temple gate in Kyoto where one of the elements is installed upside down.

# gst: irreversibility in scalar active turbulence, the role of topological defects.

<< ️In many active systems, swimmers collectively stir the surrounding fluid to stabilize some self-sustained vortices. The resulting nonequilibrium state is often referred to as active turbulence, by analogy with the turbulence of passive fluids under external stirring. Although active turbulence clearly operates far from equilibrium, it can be challenging to pinpoint which emergent features primarily control the deviation from an equilibrium reversible dynamics. >>

Here, AA << reveal that dynamical irreversibility essentially stems from singularities in the active stress. Specifically, considering the coupled dynamics of the swimmer density and the stream function, (AA) demonstrate that the symmetries of vortical flows around defects determine the overall irreversibility. (Their) detailed analysis leads to identifying specific configurations of defect pairs as the dominant contribution to irreversibility. >>
