not at all.
Gem just does the visualiation, but the actual physical model runs
within pmpd on the CPU.

I figured, but if you actually remove Gem, somehow, sound stops, so it is part of the implementation somehow I guess.

because it does something different.
[pdp_scan~] will scan an image along a trajectory, and convert the
traversed pixels to samples.
it's not really what "scanned synthesis" is referred to in the wikipedia
article and the like.

yeah, doesn't seem so, but it's gotta be related somehow, right?

or you could just use pmpd?
i don't fully understand the benefit of re-implementing everything that
is already out there.

I guess it depends on each case, sometimes (I actually think most of the times) I do offer something different (with more features) and better resolved, other times it's something simple that doesn't make much sense to require a dependency, but nowadays, with plugdata, there's always an excuse or actual requirement to add something (and I am thinking now of the time and date alternatives that I didn't need or want myself, but someone requested for plugdata). 

cheers
