analogue dump





The analogue is meant to record, or represent, a number of things. Below is an attempt to outline the key parts:
1. Framing the problem - three frames, mounted to a rod, lift up in succession with the help of a swing arm, a simple cable and pulley system, and a cam shaft that rotates the swing arm. These frames hold an image of our "problem" or supposedly broken object. As of now, there is no real drawing of a specific problem, they are meant to be abstract.
2. Transmitting the problem - at this step in the sequence, a camera will pass into position to view the frame. The camera will record and transmit the image through a simple RVA cable to a television monitor. As the camera moves out of position, it becomes part of the recursive loop. More on that later.
3. Cognition - A fourth camera is scanning the three television monitors. The mechanism is timed in a way that it will always be focusing on the camera that is looking at the frame.
4. Retransmission - This secondary image is transmitted to a laptop, situated at the top of the analogue, which displays the recorded image on its screen, as well as transmits it to the projector. [Recursion loop 1 happens here]
5. Projection/operation - The projector displays the transformed original problem onto the actual bike. [Recursion loop 2 happens here]
6. Recursion Loop 1 - The camera at the top dead center position records what is on the video screen, an analog for another user reading the post.
7. Recursion Loop 2 - The camera at bottom dead center position records what is being projected onto the transmission case, an analog for another user monitoring the operation response.
