Extractions: Apophysis Tutorial Apophysis Resources Arcane Fractals is currently undergoing an upgrade and as a result, there may be some broken links or glitches. Please bear with me and things should be back to normal within the next couple of days. Fran, 16th January 2008 Fractals are graphic representations of mathematical equations. Without the aid of a computer to generate the graphics from the equations, these mathematical objects would remain invisible. Traditionally flame fractals have always been particularly beautiful because of their ethereal quality. But in recent times, with the advent of many new marvellous scripts, new previously unimagined forms are now available. Many of my images are actually collages of individual flame fractals. Most of these flames are made in Apophysis, though a few of the earliest ones were made in the Gimp using it's flame plugin. Therefore, all the elements that you see, for example, the trees, plants, stars, etc. are flame fractals. These are opened in my graphics programme and then arranged to make the final picture. On a rare occassion I may sharpen a flame if it is warranted, but I don't add any extra effects as I like their purity.

Extractions: A fractal is a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole. This property is call self-similarity. Basically, if you zoom in on one part, its going to look like the bigger picture. The leaf of a fern is a good example. Fractals also describe many other real-world objects, such as clouds, mountains, turbulence, and coastlines, that do not correspond to simple geometric shapes. Here is a fractal called the Koch snowflake. To make it, you start with an equilateral triangle. Replace each of the lines: with something that looks like this: Next, replace each of the lines: with something that looks like this: And so on. Here are what the the first few stages of the Koch Snowflake look like: Voila. You have a fractal. Lots of other fractals can be built up in this manner, like the Sierpinski Triangle: And here's an interesting, somewhat mathematical side note. Imagine you drew a circle the initial triangle used in the Koch snowflake. At no point will the Koch snowflake extend beyond the boundaries of the circle. Thus the snowflake has a finite area (since its area is less than that of the circle, which is finite). However, at every stage in building the snowflake, the perimeter is multiplied by 4/3 - it is always increasing. So the ideal snowflake (ideal meaning you go through an infinite number of stages constructing the figure) has an infinite perimeter (initial perimeter * 4/3 * 4/3 * 4/3 * ...) yet a finite area. Its not a paradox; its simply a fractal.
Fractals & The Fractal Dimension
It could be a fraction, as it is in fractal geometry. This generalized treatment of dimension is named after the German mathematician, Felix Hausdorff.
http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AnS/psychology/cogsci/chaos/workshop/Fractals.html

Extractions: "Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line."(Mandelbrot, 1983). So far we have used "dimension" in two senses: Fractals, which are irregular geometric objects, require a third meaning: If we take an object residing in Euclidean dimension D and reduce its linear size by 1/r in each spatial direction, its measure (length, area, or volume) would increase to N=r D times the original. This is pictured in the next figure. We consider N=r D , take the log of both sides, and get log(N) = D log(r). If we solve for D. D = log(N)/log(r) The point: examined this way, D need not be an integer, as it is in Euclidean geometry. It could be a fraction, as it is in fractal geometry. This generalized treatment of dimension is named after the German mathematician, Felix Hausdorff. It has proved useful for describing natural objects and for evaluating trajectories of dynamic systems. Mandelbrot began his treatise on fractal geometry by considering the question: "How long is the coast of Britain?" The coastline is irregular, so a measure with a straight ruler, as in the next figure, provides an estimate. The estimated length, L, equals the length of the ruler, s, multiplied by the N, the number of such rulers needed to cover the measured object. In the next figure we measure a part of the coastline twice, the ruler on the

Extractions: 4D Magic Cube A brief summary of the mathematics of fractals. In order to understand fractals you need to understand a little bit of mathematics concerning complex numbers and the process of iteration. First you need to know about the special number known as i . You can do arithmetic with i . A complex numbe r is a number made up of two parts added together. These parts are called the "real" part and the "imaginary" part . Examples of complex numbers are: 4 - 6i, 2.1 + 4.7i, 1-i, and so on... In fact any number of the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is as above, is a complex number. Addition and multiplication of these numbers is achieved using the conventional rules of algebra. Complex numbers have a size. It is usually called their

http://www.maa.org/mathland/mathland_2_10.html

Extractions: Ivars Peterson's MathTrek February 10, 1997 Fascinating patterns can arise out of arrays of numbers defined by simple rules. For example, start with the number 1, and make it the apex of what will become a triangle of numbers. In the second row, write two 1s. For each subsequent line, add together adjacent numbers of the previous row and write the sums in the new row, then place 1s at both ends of the line. Here's what one gets for the first eight rows: This set of numbers is now widely known as Pascal's triangle, named for French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), who studied it intensively. Pascal, however, was not the first to identify the pattern. The mathematician, astronomer, and poet Omar Khayyam (1048-1122) described this number triangle in his writings. It was also well-known to the Chinese. A nine-row version was featured prominently in the introduction to the book "Precious Mirror of the Four Elements," which appeared in 1303. The book's author refers to the triangle as a "diagram of the old method for finding eighth and lower powers." Indeed, the triangle represents a simple way to determine, for example, that (

http://whyfiles.org/046sci_project/fractal.html

Extractions: If you think mathematics ricochets between the ancient and the mystical, never halting at the useful or comprehensible, if you think half of math was perfected by Euclid and Newton, and the other half can't be comprehended without a Ph.D., meet fractals. These geometric shapes are formed by repetition: Take a shape, do something to it, then do it again for as long as you want. Fractals generally start simple enough, but they can get hideously complicated. But it turns out that fractals are an excellent tool for math teachers. At least that's the opinion of fractal fan Cynthia Lanius , a math teacher at Milby High School, Houston, Texas. For one thing, she says, fractals make the shapes seen in nature. "You don't see a lot of triangles, squares or rectangles in the woods," but fractals show up in everything from cumulus clouds to fern fronds. For another, they are a field of modern math research that students can grasp. "Kids think that all mathematics was learned 500 years ago, that math is a dead study like Latin is a 'dead' language. I want them to understand that there are people living, breathing, and making a living as math researchers." Ten years ago, Lanius became captivated by fractals. When she consulted the web, she found the sites were either way too technical for her high-school students, or they were just pretty pictures with no explanations. So in June, 1996, Lanius created her own set of

Buddhabrot Fractal Method

http://www.superliminal.com/fractals/bbrot/bbrot.htm

Extractions: The images on this page were all generated using a technique I developed to render the mandelbrot set. It's important to realize that it is not a different fractal from the mandelbrot set, but simply a different way of displaying it. Clicking on some of the images will take you to a normal rendering of the exact same area, but using the traditional mandelbrot technique. Note that even though the images resemble Hindu art, they were actually generated completely automatically, without any sort of human artistic intervention. When I first tried using the new technique, I had no idea what the images might look like and was completely surprised by the results. I was later pleased to learn that a computer artist named Lori Gardi, who I had described this technique to several years ago, has since devoted a great deal of her creative effort to generating various high-resolution images using the technique. She named it Buddhabrot which is a name I instantly loved and have adopted. Lori's web site contains some reduced examples of her work along with her writings into the mystical connections she's made between the Mandelbrot set and Buddhism.
