Performance environments supporting interactions among performers and self-organizing processes

A method for supporting performer interactions with a self-organizing chemical reaction, said method comprising:

• initiating a self-organizing chemical reaction within a chemical reaction vessel, said self-organizing chemical reaction initially comprising at least two constituent chemical reactants;
• monitoring said self-organizing chemical reaction using a monitor element, said monitor element producing observation signals associated with said self-organizing chemical reaction;
• controlling chemical reactions of said self-organizing chemical reaction using at least one controller element, wherein said at least one controller element is responsive to a reaction control signal;
• and
• converting at least one incoming performance signal into said reaction control signal using a processing element, said converting accomplished using one of a selectable plurality of control-conversion algorithms, wherein said at least one incoming performance signal responsively controls chemical variations of said self-organizing chemical reaction.
