Many of you will recognize the picture at this link as the Mandelbrot Set.
http://www.users.nac.net/thegangof4/blackSaturn/mandelbrot/msvLow.htm
This is a java applet that will let you play with the set. In my mind this
is a stunning graphic representation of the MoQ. Text formating prevents me
from giving the equation that produced the picture but it is very short and
simple even though it involves a complex number. (Little math joke there.
"i" figured you all would "get it"). The picture is obtain by taking the
value of each point on the plane and pluging it into the equation. The
solution obtained is plugged back in and the process repeated. There are
three possible outcomes of this reiterative process:
1. the answer resolves to 0
2. the answer escapes to infinity
3. the answer occilatates and the interative process continues indefinately.
In the picture the black interior is all the stuff that hits 0 which really
seems to me about as static as you can get.
The colored bands suggest how many iteration were needed before the escapees
head off toward infinity. Looks like DQ from here.
The Slartybartfarstian fiddly bits surely look like Quality/The Way to me.

I am new here and this is my second post. I never received an e-mail copy of
my first one. Am I supposed to? Did anyone else get it?
