Listening to a TED lecture by Dan Barasch last week, Nüdel came across this solar canopy proposal for an underground park in New York's Lower East side, with a geometry similar to Nüdel's Galapagos.

This is one of Nüdel's favorite scientific discoveries of recent times, the amplituhedron:

The amplituhedron is a jewel-like geometric structure that takes particle interaction equations, which can be thousands of terms long, and simplifies them to a single term.
A potentially astonishing consequence of this figure is that a space-time is merely a property of the universe that emerges from the mathematics of geometry.
In our search of a revised identification coding system, Nüdel stumbled upon the work of pioneering algorithmic artist Manfred Mohr recently
http://www.emohr.com/two_1972.html
Mohr produced amongst the earliest computer generated art including a 1973 animation that mines the same territory as Sol LeWitt's Variations of Incomplete Open Cubes
Nüdel is now testing the Mohr/LeWitt degenerate cube figure as a replacement coding system for Nüdel components
