AggregationSystem

After the system is aggregated,it connects within each other, creatingan interiority which can expand and contract depending on its performaceconditions on the outside.

As the temperature changes on the outside, the inside dilates or contracts to change the surface area of the inside,making more performance driven spaces.

The two systems meet. Thesoftbody on the inside designatingmass and the harbody on the outside designated for creatingapertures, enclosing the softbodyand displaying intensity levels from the events on the inside.

When the hardshell presses,it designates less light to the interiorsoftshell. As the tenticle membersmove away from the softbody, they are looking for maximum sunlightexposure for energy transfer.

As the system starts integration,it is providing the node with intensityperformance driven actions.

As it starts to create furtheraggregatory actions, it is creatinga direct tranfer of intensity betweenthe outside and the inside, which isdriven by its performance nature
