There's beauty in imperfection. Found ancient fractal program I
used in the late 80s/early 90s called FRACTINT. I remember
spending a lot of time changing the parameters, making new
fractals, zooming in, watching the colors come from the deepest
calculable depths and exploding into life....and starting big
and watching the colors go down into the depths of the fractals,
to continue their lives, sight unseen by me, but I knew,
mathematically, they _could_ still be there. Yet, as beautiful
and perfect as it is, I enjoy when things get even more
complicated than that. What's the calculation for this? A video
taken of a fractal that was moving around, frames removed, the
imperfect 256 colors reduced to a standard 256, resulting in
different colors altogether... and a transparency that suddenly
asserts itself in a bright FLASH every loop. What's that
formula? That's when things get interesting to me, for as
perfect as our calculations may be, entering reality gets to be
a little more complicated, and that intersection between
perfected ideals (no matter how complicated) and actual
complicated reality (no matter how simple) is an unending source
of fascination to me.[1]ezgif.com-optimize(2) ==] a) Fractals
are an outgrowth of Chaos theory (or explained by) b) Philosophy
in this era is often characterized by logic, precision, clarity
and yet... c) wanted to talk about it more, and perhaps this
post, which was inspired ultimately last night by: i) the
changing of the group name to Chaos ii) a resulting discussion I
had regarding the Chaos theory origin post on my profile iii)
inspired some research that brought me back 26 years ago to run
DOSbox and download FRACTINT to then share a Fractal
(Mandelbrot, no tweaking) to Vine, taken with shaking hand,
converted to animated GIF, frame removals, compressing of
colors, and the eventual result here, that some call "glitch
art" but whether that's appropriate or not (I don't know), I
find it works. Cause and effect. Can you tell the causes from
the effects you see below? The Inverse problem becomes solvable
when you have more information about causes such as I provided.
But if you did not have the causes, could you determine causes
simply by the video itself? These things are important in
Philosophy.
