Abstract :
The morphotronic name is composed by two terms one “morpho” means form, construction, network, organisation and so on. The second “tronic” is connected with electronics devise. Morphotronic is a generalisation of the “mechatronic” composed by mechanics and electronics. We will show that the electronic devise is a prototype system that we can use to simulate complex systems in different field as economy, logistic, biology, building construction and so on. So we will show that we can design electronic circuit beyond the tradition amplifier, oscillator, power generator, digital computation, filter and so on. Electronic devise compute general transformations in the multidimensional space of the independent source of voltages and by the network (form) connect dependent voltages with the independent voltages. In parallel we can use the current multidimensional space. The geometry in multidimensional space can be simulate by electronic devise. In fact we can create path on sphere or path on any multidimensional manifold surface. We can also create optics in multidimensional space with projections, reflections, refractions in multidimensional space. In conclusion we will show that the morpho with the electronics is a powerful instrument to create code to solve complex problems in the design and simulation. We will show also that construction theory is part of the morphotronic for which physical structure in biology or in economy are controlled by minimum principle as minimum energy, minimum time and so on. In conclusion morphotronic as electronic devise is based on two fundamental classes of variables as voltages and currents that we can generalise as effort and flow. The two classes of variables are bonded one with the other by impedances or general set of functions. Now the two class of variables are embedded in a network or form that connect dependent variables with independent variables. The two set of variables must be co- - nsistent with the network in a way to have minimum dissipation of energy. When we construct electronic devise we simulate construction of complex system as natural system where the structure or network is part of the form to obtain the best condition as minimum energy dissipation. So any form in nature is not only for beauty but is efficient to solve complex problems in adverse environment. The same philosophy is used in Morphotronic that by electronic system can solve complex problem beyond the nature necessity.
