# gem-graph is for: GE-ometric directed M-ulti-GRAPH

- It is a multigraph if several arrows can be stacked from one node to another one

## ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
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.
today (28-03-2011) two texts are under development:
* questions about the [architecture](architecture.md): identification and naming of the main parts of this program
* [theoretical issues](theory.md) : Rewritten Geometric Directed Multigraphs Properties. (JS dec 2017)
This text could be a starting point for a publication
### 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)
