Adaptive Computing Framework 1.0

I've just released version 1.0 of my Adaptive Computing Framework as a NuGet package. It's been initially published using the MIT software license. I expect to publish the source code and a sample application during the next months. Enjoy.

Prototypes, Ports and Appropriateness Functions

-

I've completed work on two (2) additional exemplar appropriateness rules and integrated them into the prototype. The prototype now works with three (3) appropriateness rules used in combination to judge the composition's appropriateness: 1. GoldenRatio : The composition is analyzed and its judged on its approximation or distancing from an element's golden ratio. Both individual elements and the composition as a whole (including implicit distances, positive and negative spaces) are tested . 2. FigureGround : The composition's area is computed and compared to the composition's envelope's area to judge appropriateness in terms of the ratio between positive and negative space (figure vs. ground.) For the prototype's purpose an ideal, balanced 1:1 ratio is being used as a standard. 3. Cost : The composition's positive space is assigned a cost per square unit and is used to favor less costly compositions in terms of total area occupied. A. In  salmon  (a rando

Book Review - Christopher Alexander: Notes on the Synthesis of Form

Alexander, Christopher. Notes on the Synthesis of Form; Harvard, 1964. ISBN: 0-674-62751-2 (paperback) Christopher Alexander is professor emeritus at the University of California in Berkley, construction developer and licensed architect. He was born in Vienna, Austria in 1936. He has designed and built in California, Japan and Mexico, notwithstanding, his fame is due mainly to his theoretic contributions to this discipline. He produced and validated, in collaboration with Sarah Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein, an architectural system: a language of patterns designed to permit any human being -and possibly another sufficiently complex machine, where complexity counts- to design and build pretty well in any scale. He began his project with the idea that users know more about the building they need than what any architect could understand. Alexander includes in the prologue of the second edition of his Notes on the Synthesis of Form a quote from the French philosopher of science, mat
