Title: Two dimensional spiral fractals by Edmund Harriss Post by: msltoe on March 01, 2016, 01:28:50 AM https://www.theguardian.com/science/alexs-adventures-in-numberland/2015/jan/13/golden-ratio-beautiful-new-curve-harriss-spiral
Some of his spiral fractals: (https://i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2015/1/4/1420368316112/00445405-6713-480c-bc34-118442059572-1020x665.jpeg?w=1920&q=55&auto=format&usm=12&fit=max&s=458b339f30299efc06ce36b20ef81332) Title: Re: Two dimensional spiral fractals by Edmund Harriss Post by: Chillheimer on March 01, 2016, 11:03:56 AM Just IFS with a fibonacci spiral. Nothing new. I think you should achieve more to name a fractal type after yourself.
It should be called Fibonacci-fractal, if it deserves its own name at all.. edit: ok next time I'll read the full article before posting a 'rant'.. it's not fibonacci and the way he discovered this is indeed a new way. but in the end it remains just a simple ifs fractal that probably has been produced 'accidentally' in IFS generators but wasn't published as special or given a name.

It feels like a natural extension of the golden ratio itself, which is based on a self-similarity of proportions.

they are interesting enough that i posted it here a year ago :D http://www.fractalforums.com/fractal-news-across-the-world/new-fractal-curve-harris-spiral/ Title: Re: Two dimensional spiral fractals by Edmund Harriss Post by: msltoe on March 02, 2016, 03:54:05 AM Sorry about that. I did a search for harriss on the forum, first, and didn't get any hits. Oh well.
I've been fiddling with the subdividing idea recently even before I saw the article. I think what's clever about his fractals is make little curvelets connecting each domain. I don't know how he does it, but I have an idea of how to do that for an escape-time version.
