Life is complex. The last week has been particularly so for me, but I’d rather not go into details about it. So, I’m keeping this week’s fractal somewhat on the simple side. I suppose in fractals, just like life, simplicity and complexity are often found side by side. I’ve always liked to describe it in terms of waves; complexity rises and falls, almost rhythmically. It is always the edge between that seems most interesting. In a fractal, like today’s Mandelbrot set, simple circles bend into seemingly infinite forms, revealing complex edges. Is life any different? We never seem to notice our paths in life until we feel like we’re on the edge. Today’s fractal isn’t really imitating waves, necessarily, although the patterns near the edges (the middle) become increasingly wavelike. But... rather than water, I was aiming for the sky, so to speak. To create this hazy effect, I used a coloring formula which creates fractal Brownian motion. I think you’ll appreciate the theme:
Every cloud has a fractal lining.
