I think this is a briliant idea (although my knowledge to get there is
rather scant). I'd love to know more about the applications you have in
mind.
This remindes me (less then more related to the subject) of a fellow
Doug Ruby
(http://alpha.mic.dundee.ac.uk/ft/crop_circles/XCERTS/adgift.html, thank
to Art Bell) who decifered crop circles by spinning the motifs on a
table. He thinks that they are a scale model of a spacecraft.
Anybody knows where Mr Ruby is at these days? I dont suppose the craft
has been built.
