Thanks for the reations. I have posted about evolution before, but I have not explained how it is done. It's difficult to explain. I have tried it a few times but I really couldn't do it. Instead, I have given coordinates here to investigate:
http://www.fractalforums.com/images-showcase-(rate-my-fractal)/evolution-of-trees/Before that was done, I posted about what evolution is:
http://www.fractalforums.com/images-showcase-(rate-my-fractal)/prototype-of-evolution/This image shows the evolution of mandelbrot tree structures. On the far right (almost not visible in the image) the tree has only few branches. The trees next to it have more and more branches, although they all appear twice. The tree in the center has an s-shape. In this image you can see exactly the intermediate steps before reaching the s-shape. This is the evolution of the S with tree-structure in one single image!
That's the idea behind it. It is possible to kind of "record" the process of morphing by copying each stage and continuing the morphing in one of the two copies. At first I recorded how an S with tree-structure evolves. With that I hit a problem, because every stage of the shape was visible 4 times, and I thought that was a bit too much. Later I gained more understanding about how the zoom method really works, and I found that it was possible to record the evolution of 2 different shapes in one single morphing, with a way to extend that to any number:
http://www.fractalforums.com/images-showcase-(rate-my-fractal)/parallel-evolution/Unlike in your publications I don't really have and proofs or formulas, but I hope the coordinates can give insight in how evolution works. It's pretty simple, in a way.
By using the method of evolution it is possible to create julia sets filled with other shapes (that is true if my conjecture is true). Julia sets are themselves the base object to create an S from, so it is possible to morph an evolution julia set into an S, as I have done here:
http://www.fractalforums.com/images-showcase-(rate-my-fractal)/mandelbrot-extremism/That method as well can be extended up to infinitely many levels/layers of shapes, but the zoom depth would become too extreme to be done by a human. I'm also afraid that an S filled with 3 different shapes (from a 3rd order evolution set) is pretty much out of reach for now, although not necessarily impossible in the future. I expect about 40k zooms is required, possibly less if we sacrifice some details and consistency.
What is it that you're doing Claude? Do you work on a method to let a computer zoom automatically?
