Surfing on a Sea of Fractals

Wanna get really hardcore into wave theory... or more specifically, fractal and chaos theory...?

Then check this shit out. You may have to use the Cont + F tool to dig around for what interest you (i.e. search the word "fractal" to check out the comment discussion of them).

Snippit:

"Chaos theory often uses images developed from fractal equations to illustrate how initial uncertainties may have evolved into complex semi-ordered structures. Fractal images help one visualize how pattern A can evolve from pattern B, and how pattern B, though different from pattern A, contains elements related to pattern A because it evolved from it."

EVERYTHING IS WAVES WITHIN WAVES: Connecting the Dots Between Art, Math and Waves...

FRACTAL WAVES HAVE A MEMORY....................

Redshoearts has a great post about the link beween art and math -- showing the similarities between Katsushika Hokusai's woodcut "The Great Wave of Kanagawa" -- as far as I'm concerned the most famous depiction of waves in history... (The same picture featured in Disney's surf historical at the beginning of their animated peice, Surf's Up! and a poster which, I imagine, is still hanging in some random spot on the wall in my old house down in Toronto... being moved around day in and day out by Patrick... I smile just thinking about it...) and a fractal wave. Here's the link.

Here's Polvora Spigot's reaction to fractals -- describing "the paradoxical beauty of imminent death and thousands of waves hidden in the foam" in the exact same painting.

EVERYTHING IS WAVES WITHIN WAVES

From San Francisco State University:

"According to the DARDIK PRINCIPLE Superwaves is Matter, Space and Organization. All waves are imbedded in other waves across all scales. What we perceive as particles or matter, he contends, is merely a density of waves. Waves are the ultimate phenomena responsible for motion and time, matter and space, and order and chaos. whether exploring disciplines from medicine to astrophysics, ecology, biology and chemistry"
