Dear Kinda,
thanks for the interesting article.
The problem of calculating controllability in depthmap still exists: the formula, as alasdair wrote in the tutorial, is to divide what you see on a second view (number of nodes until step depth 2) by what you see at the first view (connectivity). In the cell of a panopticon the first view (connectivity) is low and the second view (nodes at stepdepth 2) is high: means controllability must be high (high/low). This formula makes sense from my point of view, but the opposite seems to be the case when calculating controllability in depthmap: the center has value 1 and the cells tend to 0. the formula seems to be turned around: first view/second view.
by the way: is there any serious research, using the control/controllability values, or are they just theoretical constructs?
best
