END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

Certain shapes are more meaningfull than other. Jerusalem cube is such. It have deep cultural conotations, so it is more appealing or interesting than 'ordinary' shapes, throught alsou is more complex than 'ordinary' sets.

Well, I can give an idea, I think, that there are such possible shape, in mysticism alsou known as merkabah. In esoteric shop you can buy some Indian rock merkabas and pedants, and around internet there are sites claiming that this figure offers healing. Probably no magic involved but it's kind of strange attractor of strange folks.





There are aviable 3D prints of non-fractal merkabah shapes.


And there are some super hybrid aka Majik Stars by timemit on deviantART.

Well, how about combining 2 sierpinski tretrahedrons in 3D Merkabah KIFS? Or even better a LRIFS? It deffinetely is possible. 2D sierpinski triangles are combined with XOR. And then I can claim it is an mayan artefact and earn some cash (just kidding).
