Chaos animated

Please check below to see animated with UnFREEz or follow link to original size www.flickr.com/photos/flights_of_fancy/5916960534/sizes/o.

 

The Sierpinski carpet is actually an example of Chaos Theory. If you think of the light area representing Order and the dark area representing Chaos. As the number of stages (iterations) increases, the dark area which does not meet the condition (ie is in a state of Chaos) decreases. Ironically it is the Chaos that we see as being real and the Order as holes which are cut out of the Chaos.

The Sierpinski carpet and Menger Sponge are striving to achieve the maximum perimeter/surface area with the minimum mass. However, there is a point when the mass disappears and all you are left with is a virtual structure, which exist without any associated mass.

 

I have provided a translation of some of the tags I use on Flickr which you may find interesting www.flickr.com/photos/flights_of_fancy/6973610225/
