Extractions: [an error occurred while processing this directive] Images and text by Alan Beck The word "fractal" was coined less than twenty years ago by one of history's most creative mathematicians, Benoit Mandelbrot, whose seminal work, The Fractal Geometry of Nature , first introduced and explained concepts underlying this new vision. Although prior mathematical thinkers like Cantor, Hausdorff, Julia, Koch, Peano, Poincare, Richardson, Sierpinski, Weierstrass and others had attained isolated insights of fractal understanding, such ideas were largely ignored until Mandelbrot's genius forged them at a single blow into a gorgeously coherent and fruitful discipline. Lamp (63 k / jpg) Mandelbrot derived the term "fractal" from the Latin verb frangere , meaning to break or fragment. Basically, a fractal is any pattern that reveals greater complexity as it is enlarged. Thus, fractals graphically portray the notion of "worlds within worlds" which has obsessed Western culture from its tenth-century beginnings. Traditional Euclidean patterns appear simpler as they are magnified; as you home in on one area, the shape looks more and more like a straight line. In the language of calculus such curves are differentiable. The trajectory of an artillery shell is a classic example. But fractals, like dendritic branches of lightning or bumps of broccoli, are not differentiable: the closer you come, the more detail you see. Infinity is implicit and invisible in the computations of calculus but explicit and graphically manifest in fractals.

Extractions: This is the first book to present the fascinating new results on the largest fractal structures in the universe. It guides the reader, in a simple way, to the frontiers of astronomy, explaining how fractals appear in cosmic physics, from our solar system to the megafractals in deep space. It also offers a personal view of the history of the idea of self-similarity and of cosmological principles, from Plato's ideal architecture of the heavens to Mandelbrot's fractals in the modern physical cosmos. In addition, this invaluable book presents the great fractal debate in astronomy (after Luciano Pietronero's first fractal analysis of the galaxy universe), which illustrates how new concepts and deeper observations reveal unexpected aspects of Nature.

Fractals And The Mandelbrot Set

http://www.david-lindsay.co.uk/fyessay.html

Extractions: Fractals and the Mandelbrot Set The breathtaking beauty and intrigue that surrounds the subject of fractals has captivated both layman and professional alike. We seem to have an inbuilt fascination with these fractal images, as they exhibit an eerie 'familiarity' with the natural world around us. I chose this assignment to further my existing knowledge of fractals. Earlier this year I worked on a project about recursive graphics for my computer science half of my degree. This investigation sparked my interest into the subject of fractals. In this assignment I hope to provide the following: A simple overview of fractals A brief background of Benoit Mandelbrot and his work An explanation of the mathematics that is used to create the Mandelbrot set Discussions on the applications of fractals ... Bibliography of my sources of information Such striking fractal images can be created by the use of very simple mathematics, however the definition of fractals is far from being trivial. One key feature that lies behind all fractals is the concepts of recursion, which produces the appearance of self similarity in these images. This is best illustrated by an early type of fractal published in 1904 called Koch's curve. The pictures above are generated by applying a simple algorithm through increasing levels of iterations. The 'curve' starts off as an equilateral triangle and then is created by applying the geometric transformation of replacing a ? of the central part of each side of a triangle, with a further 2 segments having the same length as the part being taken away. After the first iteration the image obtained resembles 'David's star'. After successive iterations the result becomes more complex and looking like a snowflake. In summary the image is created by breaking up the overall image, and then breaking these subsequent parts down into smaller versions of the bigger image. This breaking into self similar parts demonstrates the recursive nature of fractals.

Extractions: Home The Logos Continuum The Cosmic Plenum The Imaginal Within The Cosmos ... In his theory of the Implicate Order, the late quantum physicist David Bohm refers to fractals in his study of the holomovement, the plenum that powers the inner universe almost in the sense of a feedback loop of unfolding-enfolding between the implicate and explicate orders of the cosmos. Fractal geometry shows that *shapes have self-similarity at descending scales.* Fractals can be generated by iteration; they are characterized by "infinite detail, infinite length, no slope or derivative, fractional dimension and self-similarity." Basically, the "system point folds and refolds in the phase space with infinite complexity." [John Briggs and F. David Peat, TURBULENT MIRROR, Harper & Row, 1989. p. 95] Benoit Mandelbrot, one of the world's mathematical giants on fractals, said that "fractal shapes of great complexity can be obtained merely by repeating a simple geometric transformation, and small changes in parameters of that transformation provokes global changes." In essencethrough a predictable, orderly process the "simple iteration appears to liberate the complexity hidden within it, thus giving access to creative potential." [Ibid, p. 104] Thus, in that misnomer called chaos theory, mathematicians and physicists have discovered an *underlying order,* a kind of memory operating in non-linear, evolving systems. Fractal geometry illustrates that shapes have self-similarity at descending scales. In other words, the form, the *information,* is enfoldedalready present in the depths of the cosmos. So this is reminiscent of the Implicate Order. Iteration liberates the complexity hidden within it. It is not dissimilar to Bohm's law of holonomy: a "movement in which new wholes are emerging." [David Bohm, WHOLENESS AND THE IMPLICATE ORDER, Ark Paperbacks, 1983, pp. 156-157.]

Extractions: The terms z and c are complex numbers (see Note 1 for an overview of complex numbers, if necessary). "Ascend to infinity" means that z will continue to grow with each iteration; in calculus terms, it means that z diverges; more on this, as well as the initial condition z=0 , later. I will proceed with explaining simply how to graph the set, and place explanations for the mathematical intricacies in footnotes for those curious. We could probably find a few elements in the Mandelbrot set by pencil and paper, but in order to crank out enough iterations to produce even a semi-decent graph before dying of either old age or a mental segmentation fault, we will want to determine the elements of the Mandelbrot set using a simple computer program. I will use Java-like pseudocode. Let us first declare a complex number class complexNumber

http://www.icd.com/tsd/fractals/beginner1.htm

Extractions: "Fractal" is a term coined by Benoit Mandelbrot (1924-) to describe an object which has partial dimension. For example, a point is a zero-dimensional object, a line is a one-dimensional object, and a plane is a two-dimensional object. But what about a line with a kink in it? Or a line that has an infinite number of kinks in it? These are mathematical constructs which don't fit into normal (Euclidean) geometry very well, and for a long time mathematicians considered things like these as "monsters" to be avoided - lines of thought that defied rational explanation in known terms. Within the past few decades, "fractal math" has exploded, and now there are "known terms" for describing objects which heretofore were indescribable or inexplicable. There are an infinite variety of fractals and types; those that I focus on in my gallery are Mandelbrot and Julia fractals. Gaston Julia (1893-1978) was a French mathematician whose work (published in 1918) inspired Mandelbrot in 1977 (the second time Mandelbrot looked at Julia's work). Mandelbrot used computers to explore Julia's work, and discovered (quite by accident) the most famous fractal of all, which now bears his name: the Mandelbrot set.

Extractions: Fractals An Introduction The purpose of this lesson is to learn very simple methods to construct fractals, to do and practice some math, to appreciate the beauty of fractals, and finally to have fun with math. The lesson includes several Java applets for hands-on construction and interaction with simple fractals. Lets start with definitions. In very simple terms, fractals are geometrical figures that are generated by starting with a very simple pattern that grows through the application of rules. In many cases, the rules to make the figure grow from one stage to the next involve taking the original figure and modifying it or adding to it. This process can be repeated recursively (the same way over and over again) an infinite number of times. The fractals' growth mechanism can be visualized very easily with a simple example. Start with a + sign and grow it by adding a half size + in each of the four line ends. Repeat the exact same process recursively as many times as desired. We'll call this the Plusses fractal: Notice how the + sign grows into a rhombus (popularly known as diamond) in very few simple steps. Further in the lesson we'll count the number of +'s in each of the stages to see how quickly its complexity grows.
