Chaos Effect

[usagent]

Hi guys. Does anyone have a list of The Chaos Thanks!

[Todd Luck]

If noone has a list of them the quickest thing to do is to use the comic galleries on this site and find the October 1994 issue of each title that existed a that time (that's all the VH-1 titles EXCEPT Timewalker, Geomancer, and Visitor) PLUS Secrets of the Valiant Universe 2 and the Chaos Effect Alpha and Omega (or whatever they were called). You'll know it's a Chaos cover because it'll have a slender strip on the cover for the art surrounded by the "chaotic" patterns that appeared in the skies (and a little bitty thing at the top that says Chaos Effect).

Fractals, baby, fractals.

Exactly. Fascinating subject. Here's a funny link for those interested:

I watched a NOVA special several years ago about Fractals. Have they solved the formula yet? It sounded to me like the Mandelbrot equation was the mathematical equivalent of Infinity. Please clarify if I'm mistaken.

Hey, Sound check out this site:

Fractal patttens do (equations) go to infinity. However, people are trying to use fractal (fractal compression algorithm) concepts in more practical applications, such as imaging (i.e. allow zooming in really close into actual images, like a map, and not loose any res.).

What do you mean solved the formula? There are several formulas that can produce fractals. You solve them when you graph them. I dont think that they need to be solved. I guess that you could be asking if there was ever a time when they would no longer be a irratation of the previous irratation, but that is something that we might never know. In that way it would be like pi or e where we dont know if the numbers repeat but we keep looking. Or what the highest prime number is. I think that we both dont nearly know enough about them to make any real claims though.

An easy way to think of it is think of a tree. See how the tree has branches and all coming from a truck...now think of a smaller limb on the tree...then think of an even smaller limb on the tree...then think of the veins in a leaf on that tree...see how they all have the same pattern? if you just saw the pattern without the context of the bark or the leaf or whatever you would not be able to tell if the pattern was a tree or a leaf...I hope that made sense...
