Description Turning the Mandelbrot set inside out

or

When zero and infinity alter their places

Full view please for the illustration


The upper half of the illustration is generated by the dynamical process z -> z^2 + c when the variable “z” is initiated to zero and “c” varies with the pixels (c = # pixels). The black part is the Mandelbrot set and is constituted of those “c” for which “z” under iteration stays forever within a radius of 2 from the center of the dynamical (z-) plane. The surrounding colors are settled according to how many iterations (how many times the variable “z” has to pass the loop) for the corresponding “c” before “z” passes a radius of at least two, in this image 10, and thus escapes to infinity. But all of this is much more clearly described in articles 1 – 9 in my Chaotic series of fractal articles.

Now we shall perform a little joke. We let the infinity and zero on the parameter plane (the c-plane) alter their places. That means we turn the parameter plane (containing the M set and the surrounding level sets) inside out by instead iterating z -> z^2 + 1/c. The result is shown in the lower part of the illustration, the black set is the Inverse Mandelbrot set. that now surrounds the level sets in the central part of the image. Note that there are one-to-one correspondences between every point in the upper and lower planes if they are extended to include the infinity. In fact the border of the sets are exactly similar, the branches of the Inverse M set containing copies of ordinary M set in exactly the same way the ordinary M set does. The double arrowhead lines show this.

This “inside-out-process” throw away the “zero” in the upper motive to infinity’s infinity in any direction in the lower image and, at the same time, catches the infinity’s infinity in any direction in the upper image and places it on the well defined spot “at infinity” in the lower image. But all this has partly to do with the mysteries of zero divides, see my preceding journal The mysteries of zero divides

And when the space is turned inside out, the whole universe will be situated inside you

I don't really understand all off this that much XD but it is so interesting, I'm trying! My boyfriend LOVES geometry and has made fractal/geometry art without any programs in paint which just look amazing. He understands this better than I do, and he appreciates learning about it

It ate everything, giant catterpillar on the loose!

It really is a very cool piece, and the journal really makes more understanding in it...I feel like looking for my old math notes, we had a period where we got math with the possibility of infinity...It was funny how most of the class didn't get it, kicked against it while it's so very logic...Somewhere

Wish I'd come into your work before my finals, I'd be able to understand more and want to understand more, be able to get better grades..

Thank you, my new teacher

FractalMonster In reply to TerrorThirzje [2011-08-04 14:17:00 +0000 UTC]

I think you got the main idea

They in your classes who didn't get it are probably those who was good in math as long as it dealt with earthly probs, but when it turned to be abstract became pissed off And at the opposite, at that point math really became my favorite subject at that point. Before that math sucked me

Very true, most of them found it hovering to excentric and unable to just take a little change of view, just take the fact that infinity excists and that the answer is possibly not a final number.

Exactly. Moreover there are different big infinities 13/0 is in some respect 13 times as big as 1/0

TerrorThirzje In reply to FractalMonster [2011-08-15 00:25:07 +0000 UTC]

That sounds more than logic (:

Oh and I wondered: beside 13, 7 and 1...Aren't all other numbers /0 infinite as well?-btw :3
I mean did you randomly pick 13 and 7 or was it for a reason?

FractalMonster In reply to TerrorThirzje [2011-08-15 16:41:30 +0000 UTC]

If one could regard infinity as logic

You are right They where taken randomly. However there is ONE exeption, 0/0 must not be equal to infinity as was shown in the journal

TerrorThirzje In reply to FractalMonster [2011-08-23 01:17:14 +0000 UTC]

Well somewhere I kind of do, and don't it's always fun to think about it.
I'm not good with number so take excistance: where did we come from. Taking we were apes, where did apes come from, after some lines you get at small water creatures... Those get smaller and smaller untill you get rocks: rocks that have the existance of micro micro organisms. The theory wich is most logical is that those came from lightning making molecules active, how did those come to earth and so on, thats going on infinately. A circle. Just like the human mind, It just doesnt seem to end anywhere. Hmm in the end infinity is a human assumption as well, we don't know if it really does excist. But by thinking if it could, we created the possibility of it. Thereby it is only logic that math can calculate with it as well..Or am I now just making thing up x3

It's a real challenge

All that transcend the concept of numbers All those things you mention are classical thoughts all reflecting men and women have possessed. And then quantum theories, the universe is divided every time you make a decision, parallel universes, etc etc The reality is much bigger than we can imagine Yeah, math handle infinity in a very disrespectful way BTW, if we look at our "Inside Out example", The spot thrown to the infinity is in a way thrown in all directions simultaneously

Yeah math puts infinity into something sizable somehow quite funny to think about that
It's a wide brought thought indeed, tho not everyone can handle the possibility of never finding an answer that is 100% true :3

At least math in some way makes us think so For every answer there arise at least one (often more) question(s) But sometimes I think it's confident that we never on this planet will know the true a 100%

There are some things about this that have immediately caught my attention, but I'm not even sure how I would go about really delving into them... I feel so out of my league, and yet a lot of what you say makes a tinge of sense deep down somewhere in the midst of things. xP
I really do enjoy your art. I was browsing through earlier, and it's pretty fascinating... I just don't honestly know how to put my thoughts into words so well sometimes, but I really do like what you post.

From you comment I see you get an intuitive understanding of of it. It's a little bit a continuations of "the mysteries of zero divides" plus some fractal math. I was hesitating if I show that for you now, but I couldn't stop Below some recycled info about fractals:

First: Check out the zoom sequences from page 4 in the pdf's [link] and [link] . The end motives are my deviations [link] and [link]

Second: In my journal [link] you have some links to short cool fractal animations I stumbled over at YouTube

Third: If you wanna try some free simple fractal software, go to my journal [link]

Fourth: Wikipedia has a nice site [link]

Fifth: Maybe you would appreciate my "Chaotic series of fractal articles" [link] if you have a little theoretical interest

Hope you don't become overloaded You may have all this as a resource

For that reason I first would recommend you Xaos, which is free and I have a short "GetStarted" manual fo that in my journal [link]

But, having UF, just start with zooming (draw rectangles). having zoomed a bit you have to increase the Maximum Iteration number (under "Formula tab"), see my journal,

"About iterations and basic color routines" [link]

especially the linked illustrations.

Then you may play around with the "Switch Mode". That's the subject in my very short article [link] and even [link]
