Subject: BS: and a very fractal X-mas to all From: Donuel Date: 22 Dec 05 - 12:52 PM To the soundtrack of Powder I began jamming with some fractals I have been doing for years and it turned into a X mas card, I think. Fractals are natures laws that mold and hold us together. marry xmas to all. donuel http://www.angelfire.com/md2/customviolins/merrychristmas.jpg |

Subject: RE: BS: and a very fractal X-mas to all From: GUEST,G Date: 22 Dec 05 - 01:22 PM I thought Fractals were used in aome types of computer graphics or are complicated pattern(s) in Math. The phrase "branching" comes to mind which is the opposite of "holding together". Guess I need help. |

Subject: RE: BS: and a very fractal X-mas to all From: Donuel Date: 23 Dec 05 - 08:56 AM a rough and innaccurate description of fractals. take the simplest equation z2=z+1 except the equals sign goes both ways. When you plot each point back and forth millions of times a shape with never ending details keeps going. The first time they were plotted by a guy named Madlebrot at IBM the picture resembled a snowman or a butterfly like bug. Although they have infinite properties they do theoreticly end. If done to completion on paper, the paper would have to reach a nearest star about 2 light years away to fit. I use many different programs to calculate fractal shapes. The most interesting to me is Xeno Dream which can plot these in 3 dimensions for 3D graphics (although I have not upgraded to that feature) Just about any fractal if enhanced with bilateral symetry is sensed as something beautiful to the mind. Every shape in the Natural Universe can be expressed in a fractal equation from snowflakes to the mighty Sequoia to the spiral arms of our galaxy. The underlining truth that fractals represent in our reality extends from shapes to the neural net of our brain and consciousness itself. or not |

Subject: RE: BS: and a very fractal X-mas to all From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 23 Dec 05 - 09:52 AM Yes, Donuel, thanks for posting that. I especially liked the ring of dancers - or was it singers with their leader? Nice! |

Shell fractal http://www.angelfire.com/md2/customviolins/Snailshellglassb.jpg My republican fractal.. http://www.angelfire.com/md2/customviolins/elephantfrac1.jpg My Canadian Fractal...can't find it now a Butterfly fractal... http://www.angelfire.com/md2/customviolins/myfrac51.jpg A violin fractal http://www.angelfire.com/md2/customviolins/fuguea.jpg Looking out onto a fractal city in a thunderstorm through a window http://www.angelfire.com/md2/customviolins/fracbldreflect.jpg |

Subject: RE: BS: and a very fractal X-mas to all From: GUEST Date: 24 Dec 05 - 10:54 AM The repub one reminds me of the front view of an elephant. And the violin one looks like fine embroidery. The thunderstorm one is plain spooky. Couldnt get the butterfly or shell to open. Still have no idea how you do it, but very glad that you do. |

Subject: RE: BS: and a very fractal X-mas to all From: rumanci Date: 24 Dec 05 - 10:54 AM I couldn't get the Shell or the Butterfly to open All of the others are stunningly beautiful Thankyou for the gift rum x |
