Gaussian Curvature Explained Through the Geometry of Play: Insights from Lawn n’ Disorder April 8, 2025 – Posted in: Uncategorized
Gaussian curvature measures how a surface bends in space, capturing intrinsic geometric properties independent of how it’s embedded. Unlike simple angles or distances, curvature reflects how paths wind and intersect—key to understanding both physics and interactive design. In Lawn n’ Disorder, this abstract concept becomes tangible through dynamic terrain and fluid movement, transforming a mathematical idea into an embodied experience. Core Mathematical Foundations At the heart of curvature lies the circle’s topology, governed by its…
