Fractal geometry: 'Chaotic Attractors'

Description: Fractal geometry. 'Chaotic Attractors', a computer graphics image of a group of complex numbers plotted using their real & imaginary parts as coordinates. Each point is assigned a color depending upon its behavior under a series of simple, repetitive mathematical operations. The patterns are infinitely complicated, appearing qualitatively the same on whatever scale they are viewed. Amagnification of any part of the image produces an image which looks very similar. The study of such 'chaotic' mathematical behavior is becoming increasingly important as a means of modeling real-world processes from stock market prices to population dynamics & fluid turbulence.
