OK so today Im gonna try to explain my feeding loop idea for fluxes!
Firstly this isn't science, Im not claiming this to be an exact fact! This idea simply follows my logic with plants and the way we know things to work with them!
So firstly you need a near perfect flux for this to be possible.
As said many times, this style is all about the flow of energy, hence me adapting this way of growing from the simpler ML tech!
So above are some pics showing the single layer of the structure. Now remember we only left the side on nodes along the flux arms, not the under/over ones! This lends to the optimal flow dynamics or the style. Anyway later on when going vert you raise one point at each end of the flux arms. This as we all know means the plant recognizes that they are the highest points and they become the dominant Colas.
Now as with the normal single colas plants these dominant sites call for the most energy and become the biggest buds. My feeding loop plays on this to the extreme.
So with all limbs running off one level and the two dominant buds being at the very end of each flux arm. They call for the most resources, yet as the design shows, all the other limbs feed off the flux before the energy reaches to the dominant ends.
So with the ends calling for this energy, yet not receiving it , they hopefully call for more. If your able to graduate your feeding to match this curve thena feeding loop is surely created. With the plant calling for more and more as she grows and all controlled by us!
This also means the total level canopy is a must before manipulating the end points higher! As below
Now some pics of the bending and filling in of the flux center!
Then a couple showing the topped ends for the even colas building and the later end fold backs!
