Dear All,
i just wondered about the controllability-values in the analysis of a panopticon. In the depthmap-tutorial it says:
"Controllability (…) for a location it is simply the ratio of the total number of nodes up to radius 2 to the connectivity (i.e., the total number of nodes at radius 1). (...) Applied to the panopticon example, it would seem to operate in a similar manner to control. Each of the cells is highly controllable, as the area of visual field is small compared to the area viewable from the centre to which it connects, while the centre is less controllable, as it links only to the cells within its field, and they add little extra visual field.”
But when i ran the analysis in Depthmap the opposite is the case: the cells have low values (less controllable) and the center has high values (highly controllable).
Does someone know more about this?
Best,
Sven
