This body of work investigates the economic theory of tâtonnement—a process of trial and error toward equilibrium—by synthesizing the physics of skateboarding with Control Theory (PID loops).

The system is manifested through five distinct outcomes:

​

• 01 Experimental: The Blind Cartographer. An inquiry into signal echolocation and spatial navigation within a void.

• 02 2D Print: The Manual of Errors. A typographic documentation of the iterative failures and "Command-Z" stacks inherent in design.

• 03 3D Sculptural: The Slam. A physical translation of a skateboarder’s bailing trajectory and tensegrity-based structural collapse.

• 04 4D Motion: The Algorithm. A kinetic study intercutting robotic armature walk cycles with skateboarding footage to visualize algorithmic correction.

• 05 Reflective: The Attempt Log. A final curricular synthesis of the semester’s "trials" and technical groping.
