¡Play makes H(e)y!
• It’s built into the way the world works, from geometry to nature, people and society. It’s called Universality and it works for everything…including Football (so it must be true)! "
Geometries = Relationships

Form follows Flow Dao of Design: in Nature and Culture So what is Beauty in Time?
So what is Beauty & Sustainability in Space & Time? "How does Nature Play with Geometry to Evolve & Grow?"Why does it matter? ""

Glaciers & Global Flight Paths

What do Flight paths, Aircraft sizes, & Glaciers have in common? Form follows Flow

The Designs we see in Nature & Culture are no Accident – they Happen because they Increase access to Flow

Fractal Flow Systems"
• Fractals are geometric echoes at varying scales and times • Geometry is the “relationship of relationships” • Fractals are analogically optimal geometry, like the coastline of Britain • Like a poem, a Bach fugue or a viral meme,
they are rhyming information relationships
![Page 5: ¡Play makes H(e)y!](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032023/55b3bf92bb61ebbe088b47b2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Time’s Arrow"• Entropy – Disorder goes up over Time
• Local Entropy decreases by Export
• So Global Entropy overall still goes up & that exported flow has Signatures
Complex Dynamical Systems? (like Life or Societies, People Buildings or Cities)
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
![Page 6: ¡Play makes H(e)y!](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032023/55b3bf92bb61ebbe088b47b2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Those signatures are Fractal"
Fractals are geometrical forms that express copies of themselves, both up and down in scale, they can be living or non-living Fractals are nature’s way to let heat do work most effectively, to design forms that follow ever fitter, further flows
![Page 7: ¡Play makes H(e)y!](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032023/55b3bf92bb61ebbe088b47b2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Constructal law: Flow Nature is elegant, likes the freedom to evolve (because it’s good for design) –
and likes to repeat herself at different scales
• “Given freedom, for a finite-size system to persist in time (to live), it must evolve in such a way that it provides easier access to the imposed currents that flow through it.” Adrian Bejan
• Constructal is a cross between “construction” and “fractal” – it explains the thermodynamic (heat doing work), source or cause of fractal geometry
![Page 8: ¡Play makes H(e)y!](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032023/55b3bf92bb61ebbe088b47b2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Asynsis principle: Form “Design in nature, consciousness and culture emerges analogically, optimally from Entropy”
• We can think of it as Optima: as the Golden Ratio’s signature in Time • If Constructal law is the dancers’ performance, Asynsis hints at the score &
their choreography • Asynsis is a confluence of “asymptotic” “synergy” & “synthesis • (Good) Form follows (True) Flow, leading to More for Less, for Longer
![Page 9: ¡Play makes H(e)y!](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032023/55b3bf92bb61ebbe088b47b2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Freer, Truer Flow, any Flow: of Information, Energy, Mass or Resources
Optima in Time:
Beauty in Space: Boticelli’s Venus"
• Optima as ideal processes in 4D, over Time, lead to ideal Beauty in Space in 3D, as states
• They synergise Simplexity - revealing: “…simplicity as the ultimate sophistication, that beauty is truth & truth is beauty.”
![Page 10: ¡Play makes H(e)y!](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032023/55b3bf92bb61ebbe088b47b2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Golden Ratio is Form follows Flow in Action:
it’s a beauty-bridge between Asynsis & Constructal
• Based on Unity’s uniquely self-similar relationship with itself, scaling up or down • Simplexity exemplified: expressing the complex, most simply and elegantly • The geometric expression of the principle of least energy in space and time • It’s a primordial, archetypal fractal and iterated over time, an optimal feedback loop
that allow systems to modularise, persist for longer, to self-organise and complexify, to synergise simplexity
• So its geometry exemplifies sustainability

Arsenal: “Rotations & Fluidity”
• Look at the circles in this background image and how they change relative positions and sizes. That’s just what creativity is — playing with permutations and potentials to find the most ideal and fit for purpose
![Page 12: ¡Play makes H(e)y!](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032023/55b3bf92bb61ebbe088b47b2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Leonardo’s Divine Code?
• So Leonardo and all the others from Pythagoras, Euclid, Plato, Kepler to Pacioli were right
• This is a fundamental, optimal geometry of nature and of how it self-designs and evolves sustainably and resiliently whilst also generating complexity – in both space and as we now see with Asynsis dynamical symmetries,
also for the lowest energy, in time • Plant growth & design is a good example • Einstein to Corb, “ …difficult job more easy”
![Page 13: ¡Play makes H(e)y!](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032023/55b3bf92bb61ebbe088b47b2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Plant-Ecosystem Design
• Plants use the Golden ratio because it allows optimal strength to weight, wind-stress distribution, flow of water-nutrients, exposure to air & sunlight plus growth geometry – all for minimal energy, matter and resource cost
• Ecosystems like a forest or coral reef also use these growth geometries • The message? Map them on to our civilisation if we are to survive in a similar
harmony with the biosphere - as well as a forest or coral reef synergises with their environments

Optimal geometries: Penrose Tilings
• Infinite creativity from Finite quasi-periodic geometries
• Regular, repeating but always Different • Optimal balance between Order and Complexity –
facilitating Creative Computation • Nature Playing with Complexity to solve Problems
![Page 15: ¡Play makes H(e)y!](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032023/55b3bf92bb61ebbe088b47b2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Mandelbrot – Feigenbaum – Viral Phi
• What’s the time-geometry of self-similar Viral Videos? • Two new iconic images of the Golden Ratio from Chaos theory • Mandelbrot-set: higher dimensional geometric object with finite
area – but with a paradoxically infinite boundary • Feigenbaum-diagram: population dynamics model • Period 2 is lowest-energy dynamic period possible
Period 2 Period 2

• What does this mean? Optimal is Green • To be unGreen is to be unBeautiful • So – if being unGreen is unBeautiful – then to be Green must be Beautiful
Optimal = BeautifulThat’s the Dao of Design"

Napkin Sketch-ability?
• Can you sketch it in 10 seconds? • If you can – maybe it’s an icon

So Li means the order of Qi flow, the wonderful dancing pattern of liquid, because Lao-tzu likens Tao to water: The great Tao flows everywhere, to the left and to the right, it loves and nourishes all things. Alan Watts, Taoism
![Page 22: ¡Play makes H(e)y!](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032023/55b3bf92bb61ebbe088b47b2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
…and being LUCKY
• So (Li) Asynsis Form follows (Qi) Constructal Flow • Optimal = Ultimate Auspiciousness = Beauty • Tai Tai: Chinese get that and have for 1000’s years…
The Dao of Design: Form follows Flow
So Beauty abides wherever (Good) Form follows (True) Flow, it’s when Ideas & Resources are best Synergised for the least Energy, & where Potential is most Realised
![Page 23: ¡Play makes H(e)y!](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032023/55b3bf92bb61ebbe088b47b2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ideal Geometries = Releasing Optimal Potential = Adding Most Value
• Creativity is both divergent as well as convergent — and it yields moments that flip modes — or even keep both (or several), in superposition, most easily
