Design options for a crown chakra with more complex dynamics

Global Insight from Crown Chakra Dynamics in 3D? (Part #3)

Consideration can be given to configuring the rings with the intrioduction of more complex dynamics. The point to be emphasized is that a degree of coherence and comprehensibility is retained, despite the effective increase in complexity. In a sense the coherence is "transferred" from a relatively static configuration in which subtler comprehension is implied (inferred or intuited) to one in which this is held by the dynamics. Comprehensible patterns are recognizable in the dynamics rather than in the relatively static configuration.

NB: The coherence and aesthetics of the following models are far more readily appreciated through access to the interactive displays (marked "web" in each case, meaning embedded within the X3DOM protocol). As displayed here, and via video, the representations suffer from numerous constraints, especially when slower or faster movement is preferred. As a consequence of technical constraints regarding web security, a few of the web displays may not work at this time.

Of particular interest, and especially appropriate given their multi-petalled form, are the animations produced by John Edmark, now widely available on the web (Golden Angle; Blooms: Phi-Based Strobe Animated Sculptures). Their remarkable evolving dynamics result from combining images of static sculptures rotated precisely 137.5 degrees successively.
