MESH EROSION is simulating the action of physical or mechanical erosion on a given mesh geometry. The entire process is based on manipulating mesh vertex normals according to the proximity of each single agent slicing over the geometry.

DISCRETE VARIABLES can be defined as a finite number of permitted values. Associated to agent based logics, we consider as discrete the imposition of a limited range of possible movements (variables) each agent can choose.

Folding constitutes a spatial composition that generates differentiation by maintaining a continuity. The position of one specific fold in the larger network is driven by the global morphology, the flexibility of the joint, the act of folding and the gravity acting onto it, increasing or decreasing the fold.  This definition explore origami techniques translated into grasshopper.
