For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableraph : “Mechanism”, Swipe&Scrolls contains the different mechanisms known as Scrolling & Swiping. Alot of digital interactions embed these two mechanisms but what if, it was neverending & Glitchy?

Coded in #SonicPi & #HydraVideoSynth with additional digital art techniques.

#Poem

Swiping from one page to the next,
Scrolling with the thumb
But some use their Index?
To pause, before exiting
Making sure nothing is missing
As when you scroll past,
There are sometimes no breadcrumbs
To see what you saw last

# 11. The Science of Compliance
Workplaces run experiments to see which punishments produce the least resistance. Is it fear? Is it scarcity? Is it competition? The goal is to find the cheapest, most #scalable compliance #mechanism.

Structural Analysis: Why “Apathy” Is a Form of Civic Gaslighting

Relational Anthropology — #Mechanism Map Summary Labeling low voter turnout as “apathy” is a narrative that shifts #responsibility from the system to the individual.It reframes structural exclusion as personal failure.

This places the #Safe Adult in direct structural opposition to the system’s survival #mechanism.

The #GODS #mechanism is not linear. It is fractal. It repeats at every scale of #human existence — from the individual nervous system to global technological systems.

Since Doctor Who's mini playfield is getting its spa day, here's the 3rd level mechanism. The 3 Daleks are flyaway targets, a relative of drop targets except they get hang off something and turn horizontally when hit. Not that common mechanism, I think Bally's Speak Easy had bunch of these.

They have a small metal flap to keep them in the "dropped" state once you whack them with a ball. There's a unified release mechanism for all 3 at the side, which is actuated by a roller just below the playfield.

The game has to take the whole mini playfield down one level to reset these, which is why after each jackpot collect it seems to go down and then back up for no apparent reason. The game doesn't know their status, there's a normal micro switch elsewhere and these are purely ornamental, you can score the jackpot even if they were all missing.
