It is cool... and it makes perfect sense. This thing falls and bounces,
stabilizes, then realizing that it's hit the floor, throws a temper tantrum.
My best friends 8 month old daughter does the same thing...

Sounds like you check that out twice a day, just in case things
change...

Finite element solutions?

Break down an object into small elements and describe
the nodes (vertices) of each element with the equations
that would locally control their interaction. Smaller the
better but the greater the processing time. Finite element
as it is an approximation to the integral solution where
the variable gets smaller but does not reach infinity,
therefore finite. Used primarily where the complete
solution is too hard or does not exist. Such as locally, in
small elements, relationships can be modeled as linear
where the behavior over the complete surface in non-linear.
And of course in this animation where a four-body
problem solution is the animation.

Wah.
I have spent some time turning my flocking algorithm into a beach ball
algorithm, trying to turn my actors into points on the surface of a ball. I
cannot keep the "ball" from completely collapsing upon hitting the ground...
