What are the actors? ↑ (↑↑↑) 21:14, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

an actor is the object that is performing the action, like a force or an incoming object —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 21:39, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Are there other actors other than the arrows? ↑ (↑↑↑) 21:53, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

any object which can exert a force is an actor, like a box or marble —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 21:59, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

And what happens if heavyweight boxes are lined up before an arrow? Only the last one moves? All of them move? ↑ (↑↑↑) 22:05, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

shown in the first example, only the last box will move —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 22:10, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Wouldn't the lightweight marbles example be infinite cause none of the marbles I saw lost momentum ↑ (↑↑↑) 22:14, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

correct, but I can't include an infinite amount of text in this article (lest it becomes unreadable) —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 22:18, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

User:↑, when ... is used, it usually represents an amount thats either impossible to show, or is just very long. --Yayimhere2(school) (talk) 14:48, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

@Yayimhere2(school) yes I know ↑ (↑↑↑) 15:32, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

User:↑'s message was prior to me adding ellipses —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 18:19, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

How does bias work?

What adds and removes bias? Is it the number of objects? ↑ (↑↑↑) 16:02, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

think of it like a combined power—if there were N marbles traveling in the same direction, or N objects exerting a force in the same direction lined up together, then the force would have a bias of N. N is decreased when a force opposes it or it encounters an elastic object. bias is a concept taken from a different CA (see the page on the wiki) —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 16:11, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

why does elastic objects decrease the bias? ↑ (↑↑↑) 16:12, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

arbitrary decision, though it's partly to determine how the elastic object will behave when acted upon (and for the elastic spring's functionality) —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 16:14, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
