The proximity algorithm

In 2009, we announced our goal to research, design, and document a scalable, emergency urban environment plan to help victims of natural disasters to reintegrate into society. Fourteen years in the making, we have now published the framework.

Proximity algorithm

Because millions can be left homeless when disaster strikes, kynamatrix is planning sustainable and collaborative environments for the homeless to reintegrate into society.

kynamatrix's goal is to research, design, and document a scalable, emergency urban environment plan by creating a fractal-like recursive algorithm, also known as a "Scalable Recovery Algorithm." kynamatrix expects the plans to handle from 1,000 to 100,000 people per instance and to be rapidly deployable across the nation.

The algorithm can have additional applicability to assist displaced veterans, homeless people in general, and can be adapted to assist other cultures around the globe.> Read more (pdf)
