Organic data, algorithms, and universal truths

My reflections about the earth's consciousness

Souled!
Today I found an excuse to retell my favourite (apocryphal) anecdote, that the "B" in "Benoit B. Mandelbrot" stands for "Benoit B. Mandelbrot". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benoit_Mandelbrot #SelfSimilarity #SelfReferential
Benoit Mandelbrot - Wikipedia

Businessman: "Almost half my income comes from one client. I need to markedly increase my business"

Answer: "If you markedly increase your business, you will do well, but half your income will still come from one client. Another client"

Finally found a copy of the "hairiness" paper that I've been searching for for some time, hadn't realize it had been reprinted in

> COLLECTED PAPERS OF JOHN
MILNOR
> VI Dynamical Systems (1953-2000)
Araceli Bonifant (editor)
> American Mathematical Society
> Providence, Rhode Island

> #SelfSimilarity and hairiness in the #Mandelbrot set (1989)

Which has some very nice diagrams and discussion about some things I stumbled across too over the years (my GIF is part of a collection of similar-but-different zoom loops)

Iterated tuning for generalized #Feigenbaum points, among other things. Just skimmed bits of it so far, should keep me busy.
