Fractal's are very cool, especially of you are into math. Just as the artist may love looking at a painting.

The remarakable thing about it is that it is generated from very simple rule:

z=z2+c

Doesn't it look like the female uterous? with the two ovaries at each side?

A womb from which infinite possibilities given birth?

Nature is female ;-)

Your images didn't come through for some reason, at least not on my computer. But this is fascinating. Thanks for enlightening me on this.

z=z2+c Wait, I just played around with this equation and it doesn't make sense, unless "c" is not a constant.

I would love to see this female uterous (is there a such thing as a male uterous? ). I'm always interested in looking at the female anatomy.

Fractals are crazy awesome. I wish I knew more about math/were more math oriented so I could actually understand them, but that's never going to happen, so I'll just look and enjoy.

The equation is a feedback loop. Value of Z squared (z2) is fed into z in each iterations.

He he :-) no there is no male uterus.

I think all men are fascinated with the female anatomy!

Here is an sculpture what uterus looks like ;-)

I watched that TV programme too Lote. Fractals are amazing. Chaos theory is fascinating. Mandelbrots are beautiful and infinitely absorbing.
There was something on a programme about self evolving systems - about a computer programme which represented a man and which learned to walk and the programmers don't know how it worked. Did you watch that one? It might have been the same programme. I can't remember now.
Lovely pictures.

Ah yes. It's the same program. It was demonstrating how giving computer "brains" some simple rules to follow enables them to evolve complex behaviour like walking, falling down etc.

It would be very difficult to program this in conventionally because you will need to program all possible scenarios. But using "Evolutionary" algorithm the task is made a lot easier!

One of my colleague is working on a evolving fish that learns to fish efficiently to gather it's food.

It's all quite fascinating...Alan Turing, Belousov, Mandlebrot, chaos, self-organization, evolutionary algorithm. We live in fascinating times :-)

Yes, that Was the one! The self organising system part was really interesting. And the idea that organisation and chaos are two aspects of the same cycle struck me as somehow quite right. Absolutely we live in fascinating times!

Today i see them. I wonder what's different. Pretty neat.

Oh I see.
