“A Teakettle’s Thermal Beings” coaxes into visibility a process of material computation without a computer. In the sinuous tangle of projective shadows, an observable process takes place. The emergent thermal beings not only compute a circular (convecting) current, but also briefly maintain this rotational circuit in a rhythmic equilibrium. Poised between liquid and gas states, the thermal beings form a coherent structure for an intense moment on the edge of chaos.
