Background

The logic of this site stems from three sources:

Nuclear fission
Quantum Mechanics
System Dynamics

This is a non-linear system comprising different typologies found in Over-the-Rhine, and in other cities. The choices you make have ramifications that run throughout the system. I started looking at the typical fission reaction for a starting point. In this system you have agitators [neutrons], fissionable materials [U-235] and inert materials [U-238]. In a fission power plant, you also have control rods, which are comprised of non-fissionable materials.

From quantum physics, I learned and applied the idea of parallel worlds, and Heisenburg's Uncertainly Theorem. This states that you cannot find the vector and the location of an atom without changing the other. This is how I feel that the city is once you find data on one facet…another variable changes regardless if you are aware of this change.

System dynamics was pioneered by MIT professor Jay Forrester, and is used today as a modeling method for a variety of complex systems from the city to the stock market to the migrating and spawning trends of species. This method takes an analytical and empirical look to complex systems. From my research I came to this conclusion:

Act : React : Evaluate
