The Hyperscape project (2): Participative Game Informational Construction

This paper develops Hyperscape participative game theoretical and methodological assumptions. As an hyper-structural ambient-dimensioned interaction system, Hyperscape constitutes a systemic way for territorial acknowledgement. An illustration of this principle presents a sound multisource analysis of soundscape from Malakoff, a district in Nantes, with using the sound athmosphere generator. Manipulation of this hypertool should provide information to evaluate sound interaction through Zipf law entropy dimensioning.Cet article présente les bases théoriques et méthodologiques du jeu participatif Hyperscape. Ce système de dimensionnement des interactions ambiantales vise une prise de connaissance territoriale par une méthode issue de la systémique. Pour illustrer ce principe, nous présentons une analyse multisource du paysage sonore de Malakoff (Nantes, France) en utilisant le générateur d'ambiances. Cet outil nous fournira les informations pour l'évaluation des interactions sonores par le dimensionnement de leur entropie via la loi de Zipf

Urban Soundmarks Psychophysical Geodimensioning: Towards Ambient Pointers Geosystemic computation

International audienceThrough interaction with environmental parameters such as light or sound, urban and architectural spaces generate ambiences with identifiable characteristics. This notion of ambiences is related to the human being position through its perception of environmental physical phenomenon during a pedestrian walk. Presented work aims to evaluate, so as to characterize, the impact of sound ambiences (soundscape) onto an urban pedestrian pathway using GIS spatial dynam-ical mapping. To carry out this scheme, our research work within AMBIOFLUX project concerns spatial interaction between sound ambience (soundscape) and man urban spatial trajectory (soundwalk). Spatial impression of sound-sources or soundmarks has to be both defined through acoustical measurement and perception informational evaluation. The remainder of this paper is dedicated to the evaluation's methodology of the pedestrian pathway's acoustic fingerprint using the GearScape spatial formalism described thereafter. Preliminary results we have obtained will also be presented and validated

Exploring the Law of Numbers: Evidence from China's Real Estate

The renowned proverb, Numbers do not lie, underscores the reliability and insight that lie beneath numbers, a concept of undisputed importance, especially in economics and finance etc. Despite the prosperity of Benford's Law in the first digit analysis, its scope fails to remain comprehensiveness when it comes to deciphering the laws of number. This paper delves into number laws by taking the financial statements of China real estate as a representative, quantitatively study not only the first digit, but also depict the other two dimensions of numbers: frequency and length. The research outcomes transcend mere reservations about data manipulation and open the door to discussions surrounding number diversity and the delineation of the usage insights. This study wields both economic significance and the capacity to foster a deeper comprehension of numerical phenomena.Comment: DS

Computer Aided Statistical Analysis of Motive Use and Compositional Idiom

This thesis discusses the creation of a means of pitch-based data representation which allows automated logging and analysis of melodic motivic material. This system also allows analysis of a number of attributes of a composition which are not readily apparent to human analysis. By using a numerical data format which treats motivically related material as equivalent, groups of tonally equivalent intervals (n-tuples) can be logged and have statistical procedures carried out on them. This thesis looks at four applications of this approach: measuring the most commonly occurring motivic material; creating a transition matrix showing probabilities of movement between intervals; measuring the extent of disjunct or conjunct writing; and measuring concentration of motivic writing (the extent to which motives are reused). Following the discussion of the data representation system, a set of expositions taken from the piano sonatas of Haydn, Mozart, and Clementi are converted to this method of data representation, and results are collected for the above four applications. The implications of the results of this analysis are discussed, and further potential applications of the system are explored
