One beautiful Fall day seventeen years ago I wandered into an office and my life profoundly changed. I was an undergraduate at Princeton, and was looking for a thesis advisor. Jadwin Hall was an intimidating place. Plenty of names familiar from my textboo
2D physics puzzle / sandbox game, in which you get to experience what it would be like if your drawings would be magically transformed into real physical objects. Solve puzzles with your artistic vision and creative use of physics.

A simple particle system physics engine for processing. I've designed this to be application / domain agnostic. All this is supposed to do is let you make particles, apply forces and calculate the positions of particles over time in real-time. Anything else you need to handle yourself.
This essay is about two properties that some theories of physics have — determinism and locality — and the gaps that can exist between how they are understood as properties of physical reality, how they are understood as properties of mathematical theories, and how they are formally defined as properties of mathematical theories. I will point out one such gap that seems to have gone widely unremarked, and that could admit an interesting class of physical theories. On the other hand, for readers already well acquainted with Bell's Theorem, it may be helpful to know up front that, ultimately, I will identify a particular class of mathematical theories that have a sort of locality —mathematical locality, but not apparently physical locality— but that do not satisfy the assumptions of the Theorem and therefore are not constrained by Bell's Inequality (and no, this is not related to Joy Christian's work; I'm going to take an orthodox view of Bell's Theorem).
