An individual named Andrea Rossi filled a critical gap in Geometer's progress and potential.

He has developed Wasp for discrete component aggregation modelling based off of simple to complex rule sets. What this means in essence is that combined Geometer components can be assembled/simulated automatically by Rhino and Grasshopper for a number of purposes.

At its most basic, random rules are applied to three of the twenty plus modules with a limit of one hundred and twenty-two elements.

As additional modules are added along with rules Geometer will become a robust problem solving tool for limited component set manufacturing.

An example; a vague form of a chair can be populated with Geometer components with individual component number restrictions, if you only have thirty "F" molds and thirteen "I" molds, you'll be able to tell the system that and solve for possible configurations within a given boundary region.

Stay tuned for enhanced functionality; a new library, grasshopper scripts and installation instructions.

Up to this point anyone could do what I've done, feel free to fork towards your own purpose!
