 In case of a breaking structure the resistance jumps up again, which again results in a reverse of polarity.
 This behaviour continues until the units use up their electrodes and therefore have no more way to transport energy.<br>
+For this work i was inspired by the thinking of how a complex system could find a way to organize itself and pay demand to the everchanging environment that it is in and also part of.
+Important works works for my context were done by Gordon Pask and Roman Kirschner.
+Gordon Pask was trying to find a system that could possibly assemble itself and adopt to stimuli of it's surrounding.
+With his "Ear" he found a way to differentiate between two different audio frequencies through an electrochemical device.
+Roman Kirschner with "Roots" was especially interessted in what transformations emergence can bring forward in a sufficiently open system.
+For my work the emergance is an important aspect. Although each unit is a rather simple system with simple rules, the fractal structure that arises cannot be predicted.
+Still the result can be interprated very easily. Either the gap is open or closed - 0 or 1.
+With this work i want emphase on the state in between two states. Virtually every process can be broken down to a composition of atomic decisions.
+When is the tipping point reached? When does a neuron "decide" to fire? When is a category not fitting any longer? In general: how does decision making look like?
+Another important aspect is the constantly growing fractal structure in each unit. It resembles a simplified process of a system to respond to its environment.
+The structure is the result of the system paying demand to the electric stimuli. It tries to find the most - energy - efficient way to close the gap.
+The "better" the structure the higher the current running through the unit the faster the growth. But faster growth also results in a faster wearoff of the electrodes.<br>
+Even if the starting conditions for each unit are the same, there will never be exactly the same structure.
+If the gap is closed the grown structure destroys itself to start growing from anew.
+The new structure starts growing on parts of the old structure and, again, tries to find the best solution for the closing of the gap still paying tribute to the everchanging conditions in the unit.
