A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. Driven by recursion, fractals are images of dynamic systems – the pictures of Chaos.]]> 2016-09-05 20:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630163 What are the synonyms for fractals? https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630167 2016-09-05 20:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630167 fractals are crystals in the making https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630169 they are, like GWo, self-perpetuating.

Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. Driven by recursion, fractals are images of dynamic systems – the pictures of Chaos. Geometrically, they exist in between our familiar dimensions. Fractal patterns are extremely familiar, since nature is full of fractals. For instance: trees, rivers, coastlines, mountains, clouds, seashells, hurricanes, etc. Abstract fractals – such as the Mandelbrot Set – can be generated by a computer calculating a simple equation over and over. https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630201

Its pattern is a natural representation of the Fibonacci or golden spiral, a logarithmic spiral where every quarter turn is farther from the origin by a factor of phi, the golden ratio. https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630270 2016-09-05 20:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630270 What are they used for? gregwoollaston https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630272 2016-09-05 20:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630272 a curve or geometrical figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. They are useful in modelling structures (such as snowflakes) in which similar patterns recur at progressively smaller scales, and in describing partly random or chaotic phenomena such as crystal growth and galaxy formation. https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630285 2016-09-05 20:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630285 https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630288 Repetitive curves]]> 2016-09-05 20:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630288 https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630321 Snowflakes]]> 2016-09-05 20:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630321 Fractal is a word  https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630341 2016-09-05 20:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630341 https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630343 2016-09-05 20:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630343 https://padlet.com/gregwoollaston/fractals/wish/121630351 They're repetitive curves.
