Patent ID: 7805387

Claim:
A morphological genome of form for design applications, wherein said genome comprising a plurality of morphological genes, each said gene specifying an independent group of morphological transformations and said form utilizing a select combination of said genes termed active genes, each said group of morphological transformations being governed by a plurality of related parameters, each said parameter being independent of other said parameters and each said parameter being represented by numbers, said numbers corresponding to each said parameter being calibrated along an independent vector in higher-dimensional space, wherein plurality of said vectors in said space generates a higher-dimensional cubic lattice specific to said gene, said lattice having a plurality of vertices joined by a plurality of edges and wherein all said edges are parallel to said vectors, said vertices being specified by higher-dimensional Cartesian co-ordinates wherein said co-ordinates correspond to different combinations of said numbers associated with said parameters such that each said vertex of said lattice represents a unique combination of said numbers that specifies a unique form associated with said vertex, wherein said plurality of said genes, requiring a plurality of said higher-dimensional lattices such that said vectors of one said gene are distinct from said vectors of another said gene, wherein said Cartesian co-ordinates of said vertex define the morphological genetic code of said form, wherein said enabling means requires interactive navigation in a graphic representation of said higher-dimensional space, and wherein said graphic representation is achieved in a display device linked to a computer and said navigation is enabled through an input device also linked to a computer.
