After discussing the implications of these comparative statics, we examine comparative statics regarding preferences over institutions.
The mechanical-design constraints are, for statics purposes, the installed joint torques.
The comparative statics in this case are slightly more complicated though.
Thus emerge what are today properly called axioms of geometry, of arithmetic, of statics, of mechanics, of the theory of radiation, or of thermodynamics.
Furthermore, statics is specific to one series of compositions.
The statics synthesis engine consists of two hierarchically related processes: a sound event generator and a control structure generator.
Since statics was designed by a composer with musical goals in mind, the program is itself is a collection of compositional decisions.
We employ a lattice statics model, consisting of atoms whose positions are displaced from a regular grid.
