Mettica

Simulations

Change a variable, see the structure

Simulations let you manipulate a system and watch the consequences. In Mettica, a simulation earns its place only when working with it reveals a relationship that reading alone would not.

Planned modules

The first simulations

These modules are planned for early versions of Mettica. None are interactive yet.

In development

  • Symmetry explorer

    Apply rotations and reflections to shapes and watch the structure of their symmetry group emerge.

    • Mathematics
    • Visual Arts

  • Pendulum and period

    Vary length, mass, and gravity to discover which quantities actually change how a pendulum swings.

    • Physics
    • Engineering

  • Interval synthesizer

    Hear frequency ratios as musical intervals and compare tuning systems side by side.

    • Music
    • Physics

  • Argument mapper

    Lay out premises and objections as a structure and test which conclusions survive scrutiny.

    • Logic & Argumentation
    • Logic
