Here are some definitions 1) A shape that can be repeatedly subdivided into parts, each of which is a smaller copy of the whole. Fractals are generally self-similar and independent of scale. 2) A fractal is a geometric object which is rough or irregular on all scales of length, and so which appears to be 'broken up' in a radical way. Some of the best examples can be divided into parts, each of which is similar to the original object. Fractals are said to possess infinite detail, and they may actually have a self-similar structure that occurs at different levels of magnification. 3) A term coined by Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975 to refer to items with fractional dimensions as opposed to the integer dimensions such as 1, 2 and 3 associated with length, area and volume. Often used to refer to a structure bearing statistically similar details over a wide range of scales. Fractals describe shapes that are "self-similar" -- that is, shapes that look the same at different magnifications. To create a fractal, you start with a simple shape and duplicate it successively according to a set of fixed rules. Oddly enough, such a simple formula for creating shapes can produce very complex structures, some of which have a striking resemblance to objects that appear in the real world. 4) Fractals share holographic properties. 5) A geometric shape or pattern that is self-similar and has fractional dimensions. Natural phenomena such as the formation of snowflakes, clouds, mountain ranges, and landscapes involve patterns. Their pictorial representations are fractals and are usually generated by computers. They are repeated at every scale and so cannot be represented by classical geometry. Fractals have statistical self-similarity at all resolutions and is generated by an infinitely recursive process. An algorithm, or shape, characterized by self-similarity and produced by recursive sub-division; more generally the branch of mathematics named and explored by Benoit Mandelbrot. 6) Fractals are like clouds. When looking at the same cloud some will see flowers, while others may see bunnies, or viking warlords frolicking in the snow. Each person sees something different. What do you see?
				Welcome to All Fract Up.  You've found the best and most varied source of Fractal Art for your personal and professional enjoyment.  With over 80,000 fractals to choose from there's something here for everyone.  Many of my fractals can be imaged and printed up to 20,480 DPI wide by 15,360 DPI high.  As a wall mural that's 204.80 inches wide by 153.60 inches high!  Imagine how cool you'd be with one of my fractals on your exterior and/or interior wall or as a car wrap.  No more looking around the parking lot for where you left the car. Fractals can be soothing, inspiring, lively.  How they are perceived is largely dependent on the person looking at them, the environment where the fractal is viewed, and the music (if any) that is being played.  Each person may have an experience that differs from someone who is sitting inches away.  Truly these are like clouds.  A unique experience awaits to be discovered.  Drive repeat foot traffic to your business, fund raiser, or other event with my fractal prints, Trippy DVDs, High Definition Video Art, Windows Jigsaw puzzles and Hand-Cut Puzzles.  Create a buzz around town with free "word of mouth" advertising from your customers.  My self-randomizing High Definition Video Art will re-arrange itself each time it is played.  Same set of pictures with an entirely new arrangement of images.  As an "ice breaker" it gives shy or quiet people something to talk about.  Are you looking for personalized Video Art as a gift?  That's my specialty.  Contact me with the details.  I will use my plasma clouds as a background to your text as an insert into the HD Software Art, Trippy Video Art or HD Screen Savers that you wish to buy.  Or if you prefer a personal one-line message I can do that too.  These one-liners appear on the media itself.  Messages are usually free but may have restricitions.  Do you need a particular color or theme for your business, fund raiser, gift, home, or school?  Then  check out the selection on General Use.  With forty-thousand fractals to choose from I've broken it down into color themes.  You can also use "The Name Game" where you'll see hundreds of uniquely titled Limited Edition prints.  Why is it called The Name Game?  Because it'll test your knowledge of the English language.  How far can you get without resorting to a dictionary for help?  The Name Game can be used for trivia and other games.  You've got free access to my sense of humor and cool fractals.  So why not use them creatively? Do you want to sell my fractals through your establishment?  Simply looking for a cool new way to advertise to your regulars?  No problem.  Please consult the Business link to review intial terms for licensing.  Business and commercial customers can take advantage of advertising within my Self-Randomizing HD Screen Savers, Self-Randomizing HD Video Art, and Trippy DVDs.  Just imagine your ad appearing at random within my Self-Randomizing HD Video Art and Self-Randomizing HD Screen Saver Art.  For more details click on the Screen Savers and Video Art links.  My fractals are ideal for: Aircraft Entertainment, Airports, Art Galleries, Assisted Living Communities, Bars,  Book Stores, Clubs, Concerts, Conventions, Cruise Ships, Dances, Day Cares, Dorm Rooms, Fund Raisers, Gifts, Gyms, Homes, Hotels, Indoor & Outdoor Projections, Libraries, Offices, Parties, Personal Relaxation, Personal Trippy Experiences, Pre-Schools, Physical Therapy, Raves, Retirement Communities, Salons, Schools, Spacecraft, Space Ports, Spas, Theatres, Trade Shows, Vehicle Warps, Visual & Sensory Stimulation for Developmentally Disabled Persons, Waiting Rooms, Wall Murals, etc.  Spas and salons can use my fractal art to lighten the moods of their clients.  Daycares and schools could use them to turn young minds onto the awesome beauty of math.  Too often young people do not think math and science has any relation to their personal life.  Fractals have terrific potency for persons seeking to widen their perspective by actually working with the math that produces these beautiful images.  Students can also learn to create their own fractals, possibly leading to Fractal Clubs.  Students may have already seen programming on PBS about fractal art.  Public Broadcasting Systems could show new fractals with a greater variety of shapes. Enjoy Windows-based Jigsaw Puzzles which allow the player to make each game as hard or as easy as they want.  They can also change the shape of the pieces, introduce zero to one-hundred percent fun pieces (animal, starburst, vehicle, people, bat, and other assorted shapes) with up to five other traditional jigsaw shapes.  These software Jigsaw Puzzles can be played directly from CD-ROM or from the hard drive.  You can even save your place when played from the CD-ROM drive.  A small text file is written to your hard drive enabling the player to resume playback of any saved game.  The best part is you can enable different levels of cheat mode in case you get stuck.  If you'd prefer to play traditionally manufactured puzzles I've got those too.  You can even buy charts to use my fractals as Lego puzzles.  See PC Jigsaw Puzzles and Lego Art for more detail.
