i made fractals but not in a long time



some are 20x20K assembled from a bunch of smaller images

fractals are pretty useless SO FAR; maybe we just haven’t figured out how to use them

like they used fractals for making those antennas to work better. that’s one thing

serious post: a dude I worked with used Hilbert curves to do stress tests of memory modules, it found more random issues than any other tests we had

that’s cool. i can imagine how that could be effective being so squiggly

of course pollock’s work does not intentionally have fractal math integrated into them, and fractal correlations can often be made with random sets of data. this can be said about a lot of paintings though that are not random splatters.

also i’ve been seeing a lot of “fractals = self-similar” but this is not what defines a fractal at all and although it comes up often, it’s not required. it can even have a foundation of being self similar, but it can be mutated as it iterates completely making that characteristic invisible

3. Understands normal fuckers will just google it instead of putting that effort into writing bad posts.

disagree. fractals are quite the abstract concept. you can’t explain away fractals in one explanation or equation and it’s very open ended

Fractals have the same level of complexity regardless of how far in you zoom. Fractals are "self-similar" in that a small portion of the fractal is very similar in structure or even identical to the whole, at arbitrary levels of magnification. This is basically the entire, fundamental definition of "fractal". Plants and many other natural structures do display self-similarity to some level of magnification, but you don't have to zoom in too far before you hit e.g. individual molecules and atoms, and what do you know, they no longer look like the whole fern frond/leaf back/whatever. So they aren't fractal, they just have a few levels of self-similarity/recursion going on.

"A fractal which is not rendered down to an infinite level of magnification" is a roundabout way of saying "a non-fractal". There are no fractals in nature.

haha very wrong

e: fractals are often used to describe naturally occurring phenomena hth
