Post by: cKleinhuis on May 07, 2016, 08:40:52 AM max, this clearance comes when thinking about the fractals and the way they are formed, nevertheless the statement of tglad is the same with other (mathematical) words chaos theory is a way to describe non smooth surfaces, smooth surfaces - like circles, spheres, cubes, triangles, pyramids - do not present fractal properties because of the straight lines, or for the circle for the clear definition, a circle circumference is exactly 2pi long.... so, since nature is not offering us smooth surfaces anywhere they must be fractal, and hence fractals generalize euclidean (geometric) worldview |
