Hi.
For a Pd workshop held in my town yesterday, I did a little presentation on basic concepts using GEM.
It is focuses pretty much on getting an overview and expects the reader to do their own additional research to achieve anything practical.
However, I have decided to post part of the material here as I thought the attached list of 'domains' and arguments they accept may be useful for ones just getting started with particles.

I hope it is of use for someone.
-- BTW, the gathering is held in Osaka, Japan and is expected to continue as a monthly activity. Yesterday we also had Shigeyuki Hirai who ported GEM to Max/MSP show us some interesting work of his.
As far as I know, this gathering is announced only on "mixi" which is a domestic SNS and some personal blogs.
If any one is interested in attending, or is looking for a place to meet fellows and show their work while on tour, please do contact me.
