# gst: apropos of uncertainty, notes on uncertainty, information, and classical dynamics.

<< Survival in this world is an adventure because we are so ignorant and everything around us seems so uncertain. In fact, it is hard to think of any realistic phenomenon that is completely free from one of the three kinds of uncertainty—deterministic (chaotic), stochastic, and quantum; more often than not, all of the three are present in various degrees. Thus, in order to gain any knowledge about any realistic system, one must understand how to characterize, quantify, and interpret these uncertainties. >>️

# gst: apropos of collective behaviors, a visual model to reproduces swarming, schooling, and milling.

<< Animal collective behavior is often modeled with self-propelled particles, assuming each individual has “omniscient” knowledge of its neighbors. Yet, neighbors may be hidden from view and we do not know the effect of this information loss. To address this question, (AA) propose a visual model of collective behavior where each particle moves according to bioplausible visual cues, in particular the optic flow. This visual model successfully reproduces three classical collective behaviors: swarming (no orientational order), schooling (high orientational order), and milling (the group coordinately swirls in a circular pattern). >>️

# gst: apropos of evaporation, puncturing of active drops

<< By virtue of self-propulsion, active particles impart intricate stresses to the background fluids. (..) this active stress can be utilized to greatly control evaporation dynamics of active drops. >>

AA << discover a new phenomenon of puncturing of the active drops, where the air-liquid interface of the drop undergoes spontaneous tearing and there occurs a formation of a new three-phase contact line due to the liquid-air interface hitting the liquid-solid interface through evaporation-driven mass loss. Post puncturing, (AA) see an inside-out evaporation of the drop, where the new contact line sweeps towards the pinned outer contact line of the drops, contrasting regular drops that straightaway shrink to zero volume with self-similar shape. >>

<< Furthermore, (..) the activity inside the drops can manipulate the three-phase contact-line dynamics, which for contractile drops can result in an up to 50% enhanced lifetime of the drop and 33% quicker evaporation for extensile drops. By analyzing the flux distribution inside the drop, (AA) gain insights on nonintuitive deposition patterns (e.g., ring galaxy type deposits that demonstrate controllable spatial gradients in the concentrations of the deposited particles) of active particles, which are oftentimes biological substances or bimetallic nanoparticles of interest. >>

# gst: analogy between quasi-2D and 3D liquid drops.

<< Liquid drops are everywhere around us and important in numerous technological applications. Here, (AA) demonstrate a quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) analogy to the regular, often close to axisymmetric, three-dimensional (3D) drops. >>️

<< The Q2D drops are created by confining liquids between vertical walls, leading to formation of low aspect ratio capillary bridges that are deformed by gravity. When stationary, the Q2D drops adopt projected shapes that are analogous to 3D sessile drops, ranging from circular drops to puddles. >>️

<< When moving, the Q2D drops exhibit capillary and fluid mechanical behaviours analogous to 3D drops, including impacts and sliding on pseudo-surfaces.

# behav: mechanics of fire ant rafts as an active self-healing membrane

<< The unique ability of fire ants to form a raft to survive flooding rain has enchanted biologists as well as researchers in other disciplines. (..) a three-dimensional aggregation of fire ants exhibits viscoelasticity with respect to external compression and shearing among numerous unusual mechanical properties. >>️

AA << study the ant raft in its natural form, i.e., composing no more than two layers.

They << show that vertical and horizontal shaking can also prompt fire ants to aggregate.  (..)  the pull force expedites the alignment of fire ants, in analogy to the effect of an electric field on liquid crystal polymers. >>️

<< One major finding is that the raft can exhibit zero Poisson's ratio without resorting to specific geometry structures. This is enabled by the active recruitment of ants from the top layer to the bottom layer to keep the raft from disintegrating. >>️

# gst: when science meets poetry, an image of three-dimensional stepped cracks (bistability, and their transition to simple cracks)

<< Slow cracks may be simple, with no internal structure. The leading edge of a simple crack, the crack front, forms a single fracture plane in its wake. Slow cracks may also develop segmented crack fronts, each segment propagating along a separate fracture plane. These planes merge at locations that form steps along fracture surfaces. Steps are not stationary, but instead propagate within a crack front. Real-time measurements of crack front structure and energy flux reveal that step dynamics significantly increase energy dissipation and drastically alter crack dynamics. Simple and stepped cracks are each stable. By extending the use of energy balance to include 3D crack front structure, (AA) find that, while energy balance is obeyed, it is insufficient to select the energetically favorable crack growth mode. Transitions from stepped cracks to simple cracks occur only when their in-plane front lengths become equal and a perturbation momentarily changes step topology. Such 3D crack dynamics challenge our traditional understanding of fracture. >>

# life: a proposito di bizzarri scenari, qui una transizione 'a gradino' di ipotetico scenario22

Congo Square, New Orleans (img from web).  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_Square

Una senz'altro immaginifica transizione di un sistema anch'esso senz'altro immaginifico "3vs3 palle" 

https://flashontrack.blogspot.com/2022/10/life-proposito-di-bizzarri-scenari-qui.html

qui potrebbe verificarsi una improvvisa mutazione "3vs3" verso un sistema auto- riconfigurato in "4vs2" palle.

(-) In prima approx il sistema destrogiro "4palle", sebbene caotico,  quasisticastico, potrebbe dimostrare chance di creativa stabilizzazione, anche a medio-lungo termine, anche grazie a non del tutto improbabili episodi di drammatiche funzionali fagocitosi (e.g. nelle forme predatorie del cannibalismo/ auto- cannibalismo, anche orgiastico estremo) al proprio interno.

(-) Il sistema levogiro "2palle" potrebbe invece lui medesimo risultare vincente sull'altro destrogiro nel caso riuscisse nell'im.probabile stabilizzazione,  ristrutturazione funzionale - dimostrando pubblicamente non banali capacità di risoluzione/ reimpostazione di problemi - perciò animandosi in modalità attrattive, coagulative su una parte significativa del 50% di quelle moltitudini verosimilmente costituite da entità fluttuanti nella solitaria condizione di pulviscoli erratici in emarginata sublimazione.

L'immagini, senz'altro campate in aria purtuttavia intriganti:  'episodi di drammatiche funzionali fagocitosi', 'cannibalismo, auto-cannibalismo anche orgiastico estremo' e 'solitaria condizione di pulviscoli erratici in emarginata sublimazione' meriterebbero una serie di poetiche, quasistocastiche perfino

# gst: analogy between streamers in sinking spheroids, gyrotactic plumes and chemotactic collapse (when a plume structure blows up when a parm is above a threshold)

<< In a dilute suspension where sinking spheroids or motile gyrotactic microorganisms are modelled as orientable and negatively buoyant particles, (AA) have found analytical solutions to their steady distributions for a given parallel flow profile. The coupling between their distribution and the vertical flow is nonlinear, enabling the uniform base state to bifurcate into a structure reminiscent of the streamers in settling spheroid suspension and gyrotactic plume. This bifurcation depends on a single parameter that is proportional to the average number of particles on a horizontal cross section. In a three-dimensional axisymmetric system, the plume structure blows up when the parameter is above a threshold. (AA) discuss how this singularity is analogous to the chemotactic collapse of a Keller-Segel model, and the significance this analogy entails. >>

AA << consider a dissipative version of the standard nontwist map. Nontwist systems present a robust transport barrier, called the shearless curve, that becomes the shearless attractor when dissipation is introduced. This attractor can be regular or chaotic depending on the control parameters. Chaotic attractors can undergo sudden and qualitative changes as a parameter is varied. These changes are called crises, and at an interior crisis the attractor suddenly expands. Chaotic saddles are nonattracting chaotic sets that play a fundamental role in the dynamics of nonlinear systems, they are responsible for chaotic transients, fractal basin boundaries, chaotic scattering and they mediate interior crises. >>
