You've got to look through a lot of candidates before finding something one likes, in that Apophysis program. Regards Thanks!

I really like the feathery green and orange one on the top right. It has that deep space image feel. MDW Cool stuff. I really like the feathery green and orange one on the top right.

We are such a small part of things... we come up with these metaphors like DNA or fractals as aids trying to understand. But we're probably more like those blind fellows standing around the elephant trying to describe it. (It's like a thick rope... No, no it's more like a fan... what's with you guys, it's like a tree trunk...) I was reading today about this guy, a surfer dude and snowboarder (who also happened to have earned a Ph.D. in physics) who's shaken up the scientific world with a model which he calls the simple theory of everything. It's based on the one of the most complicated mathematical shapes known which has 8 dimensions. Now there's a model... we can't even visualize that many dimensions. Or at least I can't... Regards Hi Mr. Beer

Hard to say just many such strands there are. I reckon quite a few. Fractality is a new concept on me but it sounds close to what I reckon is going on.
