Geometric directed multigraphs have properties that make them suitable for the representation of complex phenomena,
|
||||
especially those where numerous different objects and types of interactions are involved.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
gem-graph is a software that enables modelling with a geometric directed multigraph.

### Faced with the difficulty of calculating the evolution of complex systems defined by
|
||||
- a great diversity of objects and
|
||||
- a great diversity of interactions,
|
||||
### **The gem-graph rationale is:**
|
||||
#### 1. represent space
|
||||
#### 2. a discreet (non-continuous) space
|
||||
#### 3. a space whose all units are similar
|
||||
#### 4. links can be established between some of these units
|
||||
- they allow drawing **objects** (isolated connex parts of the graph) and **situations** (relative positions of objects)
|
||||
- for practical purposes, it is convenient to use **arrows** and to allow stacking many of them from the same node to another
|
||||
#### 5. an automaton, i.e. a set of states and transitions can rewrite this space
|
||||
#### 6. ***states*** can represent ***space***
|
||||
- here, **space** can be understand as **a representation or approximation of a real space**
|
||||
- but a **state** can be a **space** as well as a text or any other set of symbols or writings (ex: tags) that can be drawn in the graph using the same encoding and a **state** can be an association of both.
|
||||
#### 7. transitions are all combinations of ***a single type of elementary transition***
|
||||
#### 8. the coding of static information (states) and dynamic information (transitions) is distinct
|
||||
- the purpose of this restriction is to maintain a strict **homogeneity of the rules** (cf. §7) which is the condition of their automatic management and edition.
|
||||
#### 9. no constraint on granularity: the scope of the arrows between space units is not limited
|
||||
#### 10. the computation is local, random, asynchronous
|
||||
#### 11. interfaces are possible with statistical and / or continuous fermion models:
|
||||
- spaces are then superimposed and conditions on intensive local variables (concentrations, temperatures, flows, etc...) can be added to the specific conditions of the gem-graph.
|
||||
#### 12. interfaces are possible with representations of bosons:
|
||||
- spaces are then superimposed and conditions on intensive local variables (flux, cross section, etc.) can be added to the specific conditions of the gem-graph.
|
||||
#### 13. the topology, the dimension and the magnitude of the space are not constrained

**Justification de gem-graph:**
|
||||
face à la difficulté de calculer les systèmes complexes définis par
|
||||
- grande diversité des objets
|
||||
- grande diversité des interactions,
|
||||
#### Design: two converging, complementary and interdependent approaches:
|
||||
- one goes **from** the available data structures and algorithms **to** the graph structure and the automaton it supports (synthetic or bottom-up approach)
|
||||
- the other goes **from** the gem-graph automaton constraints **to** the available software tools (analytical or top-down approach)
|
||||
|
||||
**une suite de choix:**
|
||||
1. représenter l'espace
|
||||
2. un espace discret
|
||||
3. un espace divisé en unités toutes semblables
|
||||
4. des liens entre certaines de ces unités
|
||||
5. utiliser un automate, i.e. un ensemble d'états et de transitions
|
||||
6. les états représent l'espace
|
||||
7. les transitions sont toutes des combinaisons d'un seul type de transition élémentaire
|
||||
8. le codage des informations statiques (les états) et dynamiques (les transitions) est distinct
|
||||
conséquence: les états ne sont pas restreints à la représentation de l'espace
|
||||
ils peuvent inclure d'autres écritures utilisant le même encodage (ex: tags)
|
||||
9. pas de contrainte sur la granularité:
|
||||
la portée des liens entre unités de l'espace n'est pas limitée
|
||||
10. le calcul est local, aléatoire, asynchrone
|
||||
11. des interfaces sont possibles avec les modèles à fermions statistiques et / ou continus:
|
||||
les espaces sont superposés
|
||||
et des conditions sur des variables locales intensives (concentrations, températures, débits...)
|
||||
peuvent être ajoutées aux conditions propres du gem-graph
|
||||
12. des interfaces sont possibles avec des représentations de bosons:
|
||||
les espaces sont superposés
|
||||
et des conditions sur des variables locales intensives (flux, section efficace...)
|
||||
13. la topologie, la dimension et la grandeur de l'espace ne sont pas contraintes
|
||||

|
||||
**Deux démarches convergentes:**
|
||||
- l'une va des outils disponibles vers le mécanisme (démarche synthétique ou bottom-up)
|
||||
- l'autre va du mécanisme vers les outils (démarche analytique ou top-down)
