There is something so ornate about Fractals. Rebecca was watching a simple program on telly outlining the basics of mathematics, fractals and quantum physics, which got me interested again. Through a little research I have uncovered a fantastic application called Aphopysis, an application which generates fractals based on three overlapped geometric shapes, the X, Y and Z of all three are then plotted in the X, Y and Z of three dimensional space. These shapes are chosen on a random basis and assigned a random pallet, the emphasis being placed on art as apposed to science (hence the blase use of the word random). Fractals are one ofthe first things that got me interested in science as an art form when I was little, designing an algorithm that would extract the 'picture' out of an equation whilst in high school.
The problem with such a pass time is as nice and serene as your time spent doing such things is, it doesn't really lead you on to anything, leaving your head stuck in a bit of a wonderland of visuals. Hence my reason to blog this, not really knowing what else to do with this little pastime of mine!
