Schelling Segregation Model
Two agent types on a toroidal lattice with vacancies: unhappy agents swap into random empty cells when fewer than a fraction τ of occupied Moore neighbors share their type—mild local rules, global clustering.
Vicsek Model (Active Matter)
Self-propelled particles on a torus align headings with neighbors within radius R, add noise η, then drift at v₀; polarization V_a = |⟨e^{iθ}⟩| captures the flocking crossover with density ρ = N/L².
Hopfield Associative Memory
10×10 binary Hopfield network: Hebbian pattern storage, energy E = −½ Σ w_ij S_i S_j, and random asynchronous updates that flow downhill to fixed-point recall after noisy cues.
Forest Fire (Cellular Automaton)
Toroidal lattice: trees regrow with probability p, lightning ignites trees with probability f, fire spreads to four neighbors; explore intermittent bursts and SOC-like phenomenology.
Otto Cycle
PV diagram: adiabatic compression/expansion and isochoric heat; η = 1 − r^{1−γ}.
Vapor-Compression Refrigeration Cycle
Compressor, condenser, expansion valve, evaporator: COP, cooling capacity, pressure ratio, and p-h sketch with states 1-2-3-4.
