Physicsmata

Physicsmata is a cool Java-based tool that works like relativistic quantum physics. It's especially interesting when you think about how these physicsmata can form black holes. These black holes are unique because they only connect with other physicsmata in their own group, ignoring the rest.

Understanding Sets in Physicsmata

Each physicsmata is actually a set, which means it's an unordered collection of other physicsmata. Imagine a big box where you can throw in different items, but how they relate to each other is what makes it fun!

The Size Limit of Physicsmata

Now, there's a limit on how many physicsmata can be in one set. This limit is called setSizeLimit. When you start, your set is empty, and its current size is known as setSize.

Add Functionality Explained

The neat thing about physicsmata is that it supports just one function: add(physicsmata). This function tries to add another physicsmata to the current one as part of the set. Whether this addition works or not depends on votes from each cycle.

The Voting Process

In every cycle, all receiving physicsmata get involved in voting on which ones should be added to the set. The ones that receive the most votes will actually join during the next cycle!

Add Calls and Cycle Mechanics

You can make any number of add calls each cycle, but remember that only up to the setSizeLimit can really succeed at being added into each individual physicsmata.

The Power of Cycles in Physicsmata

This whole process happens every cycle! During each cycle, every single physicsmata makes setSize^2 calls of add(physicsmata), checking between all pairs in the set.
