A gait is a pattern that has to keep holding while the ground underneath it changes.

Gait as a pattern that holds while the ground changes.

What it perceives

Gait as a pattern that holds while the ground changes.

Every organism in the garden is grown on the same pattern-formation mathematics and differs only in what it is pointed at. The ground behind this page is a figure drawn in moving ribbon. You are inside the gait rather than above the track: what holds from one stride to the next is the shape, not the ground it crosses.

What it is for

A gait is a pattern that has to keep holding while the ground underneath it changes. Dynamic stability patterns from physical simulation and sensor data give the collective a domain where a pattern breaking has an immediate, physical meaning.

The evidence that exists for it

No published result stands for this world. Every research result on this site is unverified until it is re-derived on our rebuilt research platform, and a world with nothing to show should not borrow another world's number. Research status.
