The image with the article entitled Dissention, is a fractal, a mathematical construct made by assigning colors to an iterative calculated results of recursive calculations in which the result becomes the seed of the next calculation.The fractal commonly familiar to most people is the Mandelbrot set. This actually may be a magnified portion fringes of that set. In the Mandelbrot Set, if the iteration leaps out of chosen bounds of test, they are assigned a color plotted of the last in bounds coordinate which becomes the seed. If it continues, without escaping the bounds, it is assigned the color black. They generally are plotted and result in a number between +1 and minus 1, if I recall correctly.
It has been said that exploring the Mandelbrot set is like exploring the mind of God. . .
The plot of the Mandelbrot Set. Everything black is a member of the set. There are very
fine filaments of black running everywhere throughout the colored portion of the plot,
findable if you magnify the image enough. . . and it is thought, although not proved, that
every portion of black is connected to every other portion of black. It is infinite in depth,
and infinitely magnifiable, limited only to the memory of the computer doing the calculations.
