Sandpile (SOC)
This interactive simulator explores Sandpile (SOC) in Math Visualization. BTW abelian model: add grains, ā„4 topples to neighbors; critical avalanches. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: Best once you already know the basic definitions and want to build intuition. Typical context: Math Visualization.

How it works
Discrete avalanches without tuning a critical temperature: the pile finds its own edge of chaos.
