Interdisciplinary Projects

• 1. רֶמֶשׂ-Metrics
  Studying the minimum distance by calories burned to travel for a polygonal chain worm with the ability to curl and also the ability to roll to an object.
  
  An obvious addition would be to give it legs.
• 2. Bar Codes
  To read multiple barcodes from an image that are custom made. Ideally, image reconstruction would be necessary and to have proper training data. We use certain colors to make the bar codes more readable.
• 3. Hybrid Digital-Analog Computing for the TSP
  Mixing probabilistic computing 5:16-5:32 and digital-analog computing for the TSP. This is done by making a digital hybrid-analog computer to compare an isoline for a particular distance metric on a circular plate deformed by identical, dense half-ball bearings with the shortest tour between the centroids of the deformations. The thought is that the relationship between the isoline and shortest tour after deformation will be more correlated than the isoline and shortest tour before deformation because the placement of the half-ball bearings is coupled together in analog unlike digital. By finding tight bounds for the distribution in the null case, I can form a null hypothesis by comparing the correlation before and after deformation.
• 4. Vindobonium
  It would be great to study the pseudo-atomic element vindobonium. Suppose energy is equal to the mininum distance that two 'electrons' must be away from each other such that the electrons will be emitted when they obtain enough energy/minimum distance from each other would mathematically require an electron to be required to leave in order for the constraint to be obtained. There are many kinds of distances, aka metrics. We can even do something like half-life by having 'protons' or 'neutrons' that act like billiards that are capable of leaving like radioactive half-lives
