Quantum Mechanics and Sequential Art

[Randomizer]

From a topic over in another gaming forum on a comic strip there was a great reply explaining how things come into being:

 

Quote:

KoDT storylines work on a principle similar to quantum mechanics. Until you open a comic and actually read a story, it is both planned and unplanned, written and unwritten, on its way and not on its way. This is because Jolly's creativity exists only in discrete packets we call "strips." At best, we can predict the likelihood that Jolly will write about any given subject. Just enjoy the ride.

 

This seems apt for most of what we are anticipating including Jeff's new game.

Now I'm the one mislead by a thread title. I was seriously hoping for art inspired by the bound state and scattering wavefunctions of various potentials.

My uncle in-law sent a Christmas card a few years back which was some sort of crystalradiography thing. Or something like that. Buncha blue dots in a predictable pattern.

Eric 'Rick' Heller is a professor in chemistry and physics at Harvard (he gives half time to each), who calculates art. That is, he looks for direct graphical representations of quantum mechanical thingamies in his research, and prints them out as posters. The only actual artistic input is in selecting what to print, and in choosing color schemes — though this is significant input, actually. You can see some of his stuff here.
