I’m so attracted to Fractal Theory. Science is such a turn on. Are you still curious about Fractal Theory? Do you remember what it is?
Fractal Theory is a part of Chaos Theory. It describes a series of identical geometric patterns nestled one inside of the other into infinity.
Chaos Theory says the presence of chaos may actually produce order. Chaos may be necessary for order to develop, (not just order, but BEAUTY as well). Every fractal has a moment of transition – it can go one way or the other depending on which Strange Attractor it’s drawn to.
Strange Attractor is a set of points such that all trajectories nearby are drawn to it. No one really knows what it is – they can see the effect it has on what’s around it, but Scientist haven’t been able to figure out what it is. Some people actually think its final proof of the existence of God because like God we can see the effect as it repeats the pattern infinitely throughout time through beauty, and order out of chaos. But to define what it is..not possible.
There’s usually two strange attractors in each pattern. Everything that happens around them is defined by that division. The greater the chaos the greater the beauty that comes out of it – assuming that everything follows the right strange attractor - because that’s what shapes the world around it.
The headline video shows a plethora of fractal theory patterns. Notice the two points at the top – those are the strange attractors. These patterns nestle one inside of another to create the world we live in depending on which strange attractor takes the lead. However, being that there are two strange attractors to every pattern and only one shapes our world – what kind of control do you think the weaker attraction has? Does it shape an alternate reality? Is there a parallel world out there beyond my SyFy channel?
Science can be sexy. I wonder what strange attractor is at work shaping our lives and our world as we know it? I wonder if we have any “pull” as far as which strange attractor takes the lead? I wonder if the warring chaos that our country is in will produce order and beauty in Afghanistan and Iraq? Which strange attractor is responsible for The New Orleans Saints winning SuperBowl XLIV? I wonder if the chaos that Haiti is going through will result in beauty and order? Fractal Theory is on my mind and it’s got me feeling strange.
Congratulations to the ‘Who Dat Boyz’ ..ie the New Orleans Saints!
Many thought they would lose, but they said, “We ain’t”.
Many pulled for the COLTS, but I just couldn’t do it…
The odds against the Saints, helped them to pull right through it.
Congrats to the New Orleans Saints for entering the Superbowl blood
This is their biggest boost of moral, since the 2005 Katrina Flood.
Last nights street celebrations have not yetcome to a stop.
New Orleans peeps partying like it’s Mardi Gras.
Speaking ofMardi Gras - will you be attending this ‘wilding out’ year?
Imagine how good it will be now that the Super Bowl XLIV Trophy lives here.
Here’s a BIG CHEER to those residing in the little boot nation! Qui Loves ya baby! and of courseCONGRATULATIONS!!!!
The 4th Annual Texas Black Film Festival in Dallas, TX [TBFF 2010] was over the top fantastic! From the Red Carpet Premier to Saturday nights Honoring Ceremony – the entire event was extensively fulfilling.
Everyone involved in making this occassion a success is the very epitome of success themselves. The outcome was a clear reflection of David A. Smalls hard work, Ken Macon’s diligent hospitality and Tangela Jackson’s great customer service dedication as well as the rest of the VIP TBFF Staff: Wanda Gross, Theda Redwine, and Ron Robertson). Each festival day began at 8am and ended at midnight. From the supportive spectactors point of view every “i” was dotted and every “t” was crossed in this multi cineplex weekend of reel exhibitions and budding big talent.
Rob Underhill’s “Empty Spaces” drew us all in on the Red Carpet Premier night. In fact, it was so good, I couldn’t resist sharing it with you so check out Mike Wiley, in Rob Underhill’s “Empty Spaces” below. Filmmakers (myself included) should take note of how Rob filled the reel space to capacity with a very limited acting cast::
There were other films that caught my aspiring eye and fueled my fire, like: ☼ “Who would you do?” A short film exploring the new couple question – which one of my friends would you sleep with if you could? ☼ “The Man in The Glass Case”, and ☼ “Changing” A court room drama about acknowledging ethnicities and plea to add a multi racial box to the census form. Based on a true story & yes– it made me cry. ☼ “Free Meal” had to be one of my absolute favorites because it conveyed a wake up message to minors who are approaching legal grown status; free meal’s are not a given post graduation.
There were more than 60 films in the 3-day line up and each one was inspiring. The Texas Black Film Festival has only celebrated it’s 4th Annual this year and to be REEL honest with you — I can’t wait until next year. In fact, I’m working on submitting an exhibition or two of my own. Why not? I’m black, I live in Texas, I’m festive and I’m an aspiring filmmaker. The conditions are perfect for me to utilize my Panasonic HVX200A digital film camera, my Final Cut Pro software and my formal writing and film education. What do you think? I know I have alot of film making kin online, you don’t have to live in Texas to be apart of the festivities; therefore, I look forward to seeing you and your work on the 3rd coast screen in 2011. Are you in?
Keeping it Real with the Reel, I’m Qui
A happy spectator of the TBFF appeal.
