About

1. Explore novel applications using Shape Machine, a new vector-based shape-rewrite modeling technology developed at the Shape Computation Lab at the College of Design at Georgia Tech. 1. Why is that the Find and Replace (⌘F/⌘R) rewrite operations, so essential in Word processing, have yet to be implemented in vector graphics or CAD? 2. Were Find and Replace (⌘F/⌘R) rewrite operations be implemented in vector graphics or CAD would they simulate existing models of geometric, parametric, and/or generative modeling or would they produce a different paradigm in vector modeling? 3. Is it possible to have a Turing-complete, imperative programming language working with vector-based shapes, shape rewrite (⌘F/⌘R) operations, and a logical processing framework using states, loops, jumps, and conditionals? Is it possible to literally write programming code by drawing shapes?
