Complexity of Transitions

This animation deals with the complexity of an ensemble’s shape, or an individual, for that matter, and the complexity of the transition to the next shape. Thinking specifically of the Ensemble Thinking scores, One Idea and Complete the Form, in that they are a similar score, but have different relationships to complexity. What I am proposing with this model is that the transition to the next shape in either score can be complex or quite simple.

One Idea has a low level of ensemble shape complexity, whereas Complete the Form has a high level of ensemble shape complexity. How exactly to measure the level of complexity of transition to the next shape is open. It could be that one person takes a lot of movement and time to arrive at the next location and shape. It could be that everyone shifts a little bit, as with classic and clean One Idea.
