Lab: 'Gradiant Field' (101020)




If the lab is a place dealing with a sensorial experience,
and as the sensorial experience is caused by the medium +'intensive properties' such as heat, pressure, speed, duration of air/wind/light etc, then the lab is to be dealt with as a 'gradient field' other than a 'scalar system'.

Read pp72-77, Atlas of Novel Tectonics by Reiser+Umemoto for the difference between gradient field and the scalar system.

Check out http://www.cddc.vt.edu/host/delanda/ to understand the difference between intensive and extensive properties. There is a link in this website to the chapter, Space: Extensive and Intensive, Actual and Virtual by Maneul DeLanda:
