By evolving self-reproducers, found in two-dimensional Cellular Automata rules, we obtain fractal-like objects. This paper focuses on analyzing the fractal features of different self-reproducers and provides a perspective on how it is possible to translate into music some creative processes self-reproducers show, which are similar to the counterpoint method. Many self-reproducers are tied toget...

When faced with two nigh intractable problems in cosmology -- how to remove the original cosmological constant problem and parametrize modified gravity explain current cosmic acceleration we can make progress by counterposing them. The well tempered solution through degenerate scalar field dynamics also relates disparate Horndeski terms, making them contrapuntal. We derive connection between ki...

This paper proposes an interface for improvisational ensemble plays which synthesizes musical sounds and graphical images on the floor from people’s act of “walking.” The aim of this paper is to develop such a system that enables nonprofessional people in our public spaces to play good contrapuntal music without any knowledge of music theory. The people are just walking. This system is based on...

In this work, we present a Genetic A lgor i thm (GA) system "Evolu t ionary Counterpoint" (EVOC) that generates contrapuntal music. Counterpoint is the construct ion of a musical piece by superimposing mul t ip le melodies, ind i rectly fo rming an under ly ing harmonic structure. Here, we include a descript ion of the underly ing a lgor i thm, fitness funct ion, and overal l system modules.

In this article, we analyze the concept of sovereignty embodied in four most-cited authors first generation International Relations (IR) Brazil, namely: Amado Cervo, Hélio Jaguaribe, José Flávio Sombra Saraiva and Maria Regina Soares de Lima. We evaluate from perspective Brazilian mentioned contrapuntal to view works American author Stephen Krasner. This study is developed dialogue with Global ...
