City dynamics: particle systems? A complex system?
But a merely physical representation, or one in urban statistics (complex-systems statistics), is not enough. Some interpretation, some dimensional transformation is needed.

Yeongdeungpo-centric, or a general city?
A Korean map platform API (Naver Map, Kakao Map), or a global platform (OpenStreetMap, Mapbox)?
Street view? Aerial view?
Multiple iPads: a touch interface, naturally multi-user (like the Reactable)? Versus phones: multi-phone interaction plus QR codes?

Geometry (pure Euclidean geometry) vs. real city geometry?

A city's entropy (its creativity, its emergence) and its neatness (Banpo-Xism, the new towns) stand in a relation of uncertainty, the way time and space cannot both be fixed at once. Neither is the preferable value. They are values that must coexist, at the same time, within one country.

INTERACTION SHOULD BE ON NINTENDO!!!!

Shigeru Miyamoto, as I copied him down:

"Nintendo is well known as a game company, but in fact Nintendo is also a toy company. And a toy must always evoke some 'feeling of surprise' in the consumer.

On the hardware side, other console makers tend to take similar, unified approaches to strengthening their hardware's capabilities. To differentiate the hardware we make, I think it is important to make users feel as if they are playing with a new toy.

The 'fun' I want to convey is, simply put, whether the controller feels just right when you hold it and play, and whether that makes the player happy. Through the controller and the monitor, you should be free to have new experiences."

Whom should this feeling of surprise reach? To whom should I offer Yeongdeungpo-ness as the alternative to Banpo-Xism? To my own generation. People born in the 1990s. And people born in the 1990s grew up with Nintendo.
