Title: Fractal Quest Post by: macawscopes on February 17, 2016, 10:35:44 AM Hey there, long time reader, but this is my first post, a little mystery puzzle adventure ^-^
Late one November evening, as the first snow settled, I found myself gazing far off into distant regions of the abstract, intermeandering mathematical cosmos. Using the GPU and memory as a makeshift symbolic antenna, I hacked the computer into some kind of cyber-mathematical signal transducer. Long into the night, I sat punching symbol upon symbol into this highly experimental scientific instrument. Sure enough, out of nowhere a mysterious & intriguing signal popped onto the screen (https://vid.me/QB8y). "It appears to be some sort of fractal!" I reckoned quietly, in a calm, scientific manner. Was it only a blob? A glitch in the tensor? Whatever it was, it looked strangely familiar... Deep inside, however, excitement welled as I dove farther, further into the abstract mathematical space. I knew what this was. It was none other than a fractal quest. Well three months have passed since then, and I've learned more math (and more computer programming) on this journey than I've ever learned in my life. Can you identify this strange mathematical entity? https://vimeo.com/155587929 Title: Re: Fractal Quest Post by: PieMan597 on February 17, 2016, 01:09:40 PM It looks like you've somehow found a "true" 3-D representation of the Mandelbrot set, but it is fuzzy.
Title: Re: Fractal Quest Post by: macawscopes on February 18, 2016, 06:23:54 AM I'm working on writing a paper. As much as I'd like to share more here, I think I'd better try and get the paper done and on arxiv.org first. |
