What, Australia has over 400 species of ferns and you don't think we can find Barnsley type ferns amoung them.

I'm not particularly interested in sloppily formed opinions and extrapolations therefrom. Your post is in error in each of the following ways:

i) in my post #275, I pointed out, with Wiki reference links, that: 'The Barnsley Fern functions were created by Barnsley in order to resemble the black spleenwort, Asplenium adiantum-nigrum'. This species is found mostly in Africa, Europe, and Eurasia. Its is also native to a few locales in Mexico and the United States. They aren't native to Australia.

ii) the Barnsley fern was created as a model, via computer code in a computing environment.

iii) my fern, which I mentioned had visible pattern 'defects' in the leaf regularity, was a Dicksonia antarctica, which happens to be the most abundant tree fern native to eastern Australia. I'm pretty sure my plant was nothing special in the overal population of Dickinsonia antarctica, too.

Forgive me if I don't concur with your next (ie: above quoted) claim .. because it seems you need agreement from uninformed folk, given you have offered no other factually valid bases to make your point. I'm not one of those people.

Thats a bit unfair. You would not make a good teacher. Imagine talking to students like that.

Why be so pedantic. What I meant by formula was the same thing. The point was that each stable orbit still falls within the Madelbrot set. It was you who claimed the generalised Mandelbrots were not Mandelbrots.

So did humans just happen to fluke creating the Madelbrot reflecting nature or was it something they discovered and the Madelbrot set is just a tool humans created to discover these patterns that already existed in nature.

Ah so thats their names. I could not find the names of the general Madelbrots when increased in power.

No I have provided factual evidence and you have not addressed it. Pointing out the signatures in stones don't match the tools in the archeological records is not arguementative, not contrary in any unjustified way. Its a simple and obvious factual observation. Its you who are being arguementative and contrary in making all sorts of logical fallacies to deny this truth.

I don't need to do anything as its all irrelevant. All I did was point out that the Madelbrot set is reflected in nature and that the Golden ration within the Madelbrot set is also found in the ancient Egyptian vases and other works.

I don't need to be an expert in math to know this. Your trying kill this truth with irrelevant math lessons that don't change this fact. But I appreciate your effort and I do learn all the time. But it was not necessary for my point.

Don't mistake my views as arguements. Perhaps thats your probloem. It is not I who is taking an arguementative position. When you start posts you rhetoric like "you know nothing' and "are you stupid" your actually being arguementive.

By the way you have been wrong on many occassions. But I don't deride you, don't call you dumb. I just accept that this is your point of view. Everyone needs to learn but you don't teach people by calling them names. That actually turns them off. You would not make a good teacher thats for sure.
Since this has turned into a "you know nothing" or "are you stupid" victim playing post then why are creating this very stereotype?
From your post I was quoted:

"These hypocycloids are defined by the number of cusps in the central region of the set and correspond to critical points where the derivative of the set is zero.

For the generalized Mandelbrot set:
View attachment 358880
The solution indicates there are n-1 critical points leading to the characteristic n-1 cusps which define the hypocycloid.
When n → ∞ these critical points become extremely dense and the set forms a circle at the limit.
Note once again it depends on the power of the generalized Mandelbrot set not some general or same formula.

Another example is claiming generalized Mandelbrot set accurately describes snowflakes when the Koch fractal best describes these.
You are carrying considerable emotional baggage in this thread and have adopted a contrarian approach as a matter of principle."


To which you responded.

"No I have provided factual evidence and you have not addressed it. Pointing out the signatures in stones don't match the tools in the archeological records is not arguementative, not contrary in any unjustified way. Its a simple and obvious factual observation. Its you who are being arguementative and contrary in making all sorts of logical fallacies to deny this truth."

I'll call a spade a spade that your response is downright stupid, I was discussing fractals in the hope you might learn something, not signatures in stones, then in true Dunning Kruger style to boldly proclaim I was being argumentative and making all sorts of logical fallacies.
Unfortunately these type of responses are not isolated events and other posters have made the same observations.

To then go on you don't need maths lessons while being blissfully unaware of the nonsense you spout about Mandelbrot and generalized Mandelbrot sets is another example of the Dunning Kruger effect.

Oh ok you want the links to the pics to verify they are Australian ferns. No problem. I just thought it was a given that Australia have 1,000s of square kilometers of rainforest which is heritage listed.

These are just some of the ferns native to Queensland where I live. Just about half of them have fractals.

Here are more throughout Australia

Theres too many to list so here is a couple I thought are great examples

i) in my post #275, I pointed out, with Wiki reference links, that: 'The Barnsley Fern functions were created by Barnsley in order to resemble the black spleenwort, Asplenium adiantum-nigrum'. This species is found mostly in Africa, Europe, and Eurasia. Its is also native to a few locales in Mexico and the United States. They aren't native to Australia.
But that does not mean other places like Australia and the Amazon don't have ferns similar in pattern to the black spleenwort. Are you saying no other plants beside the black spleenwort reflect the fractals in the Barneley Fern.

Your argueing semantics and missing the whole point that the Barnsley Fern is a mathmatical structure that is relected in nature.
ii) the Barnsley fern was created as a model, via computer code in a computing environment.
Yes but we have real life organic copies in nature. So which came first.
iii) my fern, which I mentioned had visible pattern 'defects' in the leaf regularity, was a Dicksonia antarctica, which happens to be the most abundant tree fern native to eastern Australia. I'm pretty sure my plant was nothing special in the overal population of Dickinsonia antarctica, too.
But Australia has over 400 species of ferns. Do you think that within these ferns there will be fractals similar to what we find in the Madelbrot set and the Barnsley fern.

But your creating a strawman. My point was not about how the generalised Madelbrots were created. It was that the generalised Mandelbrots still conform to the number sets that are within the finite iterations.

So all fractals, circles, swirls all patterns will conform to the Mandelbrot set regardless of the increased power. Like I said do the generalized Madelbrot sets contain numbers that fall outside finite iterations. No they don't. Full stop, thats my only point. I don't care how explaining how the genralizerd Madelbrots are formed.

Have you ever considered that I was responding to a bigger issue about the whole thread and how you have been continually making personal attacks and ad hominems. That I was responding to this logical fallacy you keep making.

I already replied to the Issue relating to the Madelbrot set and as I pointed out your missing the point with all this semantics on maths and the proper way to determine Madelbrots.

Its got nothing to do with my point. But you have continued to create this red herring about semantics. My point was that the Madelbrot sets reflect nature and are not something invented by math.

That the ancient Egyptian works such as the vases, statues, Pyramids ect reflect this natural geometry.

Thats all. I don't need to here about how a mandelbrot is created. I just need you to respond to this simple point instead of dancing all around the point.
To then go on you don't need maths lessons while being blissfully unaware of the nonsense you spout about Mandelbrot and generalized Mandelbrot sets is another example of the Dunning Kruger effect.
Its not nonsense. It has been scientifically verified that the Madelbrot sets reflect the patterns we see in nature and that the ancient Egyptain vases and other works also reflect these natural geometric patterns. I linked the analysis of the vases showing it contained geometry such as the Golden ratio which is also with the Maandelbrot set which I also provided evidence.

Thats it. I don't need a lesson on math to show me that the evidence point I have made is wrong. It does not achieve anything in defeating the point.

Unfortunately this has been your tactic all along. One logiocal fallacy after another with red herrings, strawmen and ad hominems. This is exactly what most skeptics do. That is their MO. They throw everything into the debate to disatract away from the truth.

Otherwise heres a simplification getting straight to the point of you still don't get it. You could maybe clarify if I am wrong in my simple logic.

Do the generalised Mandelbrots, that is all the patterns they form based on the number iterations all fall within the finite set of the original Madelbrot set. Are any iterations that are unstable and jump quickly to infinity allowed in those generalised Madelbrot sets.

Thats it. Thats all my point was. So is my logic wrong. If so explain why without all the other stuff. I only want to know if the iterations in the generalized Mandelbrots still fall within finite sets.

..
Yes but we have real life organic copies in nature. So which came first.
No .. I'm arguing that the thinking which produced your above claim there, demonstrates a completely back-to-front approach, from how scientific inquiry proceeds. The only connection between the math structure, (developed by a human, Barnsley), and some fern growing in a rainforest, exists in your imagination. That's just not good enough to rise to the level of serious objective inquiry.

The fact is, that the natural fern structure, which developed in the rainforest over eons, resulted in a descriptive math model developed by Barnsley .. and that's all.
But Australia has over 400 species of ferns. Do you think that within these ferns there will be fractals similar to what we find in the Madelbrot set and the Barnsley fern.
It doesn't matter what you, or I, think.
Its what objective evidence can be shown about the correspondence of features between the two models, (ie: the fern and a fractal), that matters to me on this topic.
You have jumped to conclusions in your own mind. That's not a sufficient basis for me to agree with anything you say, especially when I already know that fern frond patterns strongly support that flawed DNA replication processes (and not fractals) result in those patterns.

This is either a troll post or a demonstration of ineptness to such a degree that it also involves a lack of self awareness of your intellectual limitations.
Assuming the latter scenario, you asked the question about Mandelbrot and generalized Mandelbrot sets which I had already covered and is clear demonstration of your lack of comprehension of the subject.
Does this constitute a strawman or personal attack, no it's a conclusion based on the quality of your responses.

Then there is the illogical and contradictory nonsense of boasting you don't need an education on the subject which if true then you would not have needed ask the question in the first place.
Once again it is not a strawman or personal attack but an observation based on your response.

As much you have an overinflated opinion of your abilities the reality is you are so far out of your depth it is not only a failure to understand my responses but not even having the perception when an answer is given let alone understanding it.
The result is an incoherent mess of misunderstandings, contradictions and illogical thought processes and it is only in your self deluded world where your responses are concise, point out logical errors and strawman attacks of various posters, while also demonstrating a superior understanding in diverse fields such as complex dynamics and archaeology.

Your creating another logical fallacy of either and or. Its neither of the above. Its my understanding of the Madelbrot set of its basic principles for determing the number sets that go into any Madelbrot pattern.
Assuming the latter scenario, you asked the question about Mandelbrot and generalized Mandelbrot sets which I had already covered and is clear demonstration of your lack of comprehension of the subject.
No you went into how they are formed. I asked a simple question that relates back to when you said that the generalised Madelbrots were not Mandelbrot sets. I asked a simple question that did not need all the semantics.

All I wanted to know is do the generalised Madelbrot sets conform to the finite number iterations just like the main Mandelbrot set does. Its a simple yes or no.
Does this constitute a strawman or personal attack, no it's a conclusion based on the quality of your responses.
I'm making it as simple as I can lol. Its not a hard question to answer. Yes it does or no its more complicated than that. Then I will ask you why is it complicated. Does that mean the generalised ones are allowing iterations that go outside the finite iterations. Then we can go from there. I may say its too complicated so forget it lol. But I need these answers first which you are not doing. At least to my direct questions. Everything but.
Then there is the illogical and contradictory nonsense of boasting you don't need an education on the subject which if true then you would not have needed ask the question in the first place.
Did I say that. I don't think I would have said it like your implying. What exactly did I say. Can you find it as I cannot be bothered. You seem to know what I said so you mkust have access to it.
Once again it is not a strawman or personal attack but an observation based on your response.
So far your observations have been wrong.

So I am breaking it down as to how I understand things regarding the Madelbrot set in realtion to its patterns reflecting nature. Thats all I want to know.

Obviously the Mandelbrot set creates the patterns it does because it is based on a specific set of numbers that remain infinite. Am I right so far.

This order is also found in nature such as the Golden triangle and the fractals we find in leaves. I am right so far.

All I wanted to know is does the generalised Mandelbrots also conform to these limited infinte iterations as seen in the original Manelbrot.

Thats all I need to know to confirm my point that these patterns are unique and in nature and the ancient Egyptians knew this geometry and math.

I don't know is that too simple a breakdown. You could at least answer the simple question as to whether the generalized ones conform to the Madelbrot finite iterations. I suppose I could go and find out myself but I thought you could tell me as you are an expert.

No .. I'm arguing that the thinking which produced your above claim there, demonstrates a completely back-to-front approach, from how scientific inquiry proceeds. The only connection between the math structure, (developed by a human, Barnsley), and some fern growing in a rainforest, exists in your imagination. That's just not good enough to rise to the level of serious objective inquiry.
But this exists in the minds of just about everyone. It may be that its the other way around and its in your imagination or rather worldview that you cannot see the connection. Your more or less saying that a human made Barneley leaf just happened to coincidently match 1,000s of patters in nature but has nothing to do with each other.

Which then begs the question did Barnsley really come up with this pattern or is he just reflecting the same pattern that has always been in nature for billions of years.

What I am saying is reality according to the majority of people including Barnsely himself. He mentions that he based his Barnsley leaf on the black spleenwort. Not the other way around. In other words nature inspired him and he was copying what was already in nature.

The Barnsley fern is a fractal named after the British mathematician Michael Barnsley who first described it in his book Fractals Everywhere. He made it to resemble the black spleenwort,

Even Benoît Mandelbröt in his seminal 1977 essay The Fractal Geometry of Nature is stating that fractals are found everywhere in nature.

Even a simple definition of fractals tells us "In mathematics, a fractal is an abstract concept that is used to describe objects or phenomena which can be found in nature". So the fractals are used to describe nature and not the other way around. Its just common sense.

Mathematics is visible everywhere in nature, even where we are not expecting it. It can help explain the way galaxies spiral, a seashell curves, patterns replicate, and rivers bend.

The question is why should math reflect nature so well in the first place.
The fact is, that the natural fern structure, which developed in the rainforest over eons, resulted in a descriptive math model developed by Barnsley .. and that's all.
No its the other way around. The ferns in nature came first and Barnsley was just copying what was already in existence in nature.

And this is a good example of the opposing paradigms and worldviews we are coming from that we see the complete opposite representation for reality.
It doesn't matter what you, or I, think.
Its what objective evidence can be shown about the correspondence of features between the two models, (ie: the fern and a fractal), that matters to me on this topic.
And just like Barnsley based his fractal patterns and symmetry on the black spleenwort so do the ferns I linked from Australia according to the objective evidence. They contain the same fractal patterns and symmetry as the black spleenwort and therefore the Barnsley fern.
You have jumped to conclusions in your own mind. That's not a sufficient basis for me to agree with anything you say, especially when I already know that fern frond patterns strongly support that flawed DNA replication processes (and not fractals) result in those patterns.
No they are fractals. The articles state they are fractals. Its common knowledge that many plants have fractals of varying kinds as well as other geomtry found in nature. You need to address the objective evidence. What your doing is actually what your accusing me of is creating or rather denying in your own mind objective reality, the science and facts.

Look carefully at the statements below. They say these are fractals in gardens and nature. They specify them as fractals for all these ferns. Not just the black spleenwort but they include many ferns all having fractals.

They are everywhere. Are you saying that this is not objective evidence. Its certainly not from my mind but rather from independent sources. I noticed some using the Ai feature of Google. Here's what it says for the search 'how many ferns have fractal'.

All ferns have fractal-like properties, as the fern pattern can be mathematically generated and reproduced at any scale. The Barnsley fern is a famous example.

Some Fractals in the Botanic Gardens

Fractals in Nature: From Ferns to Coastlines

Ferns are beautiful plants that exhibit a self-similar structure: the entire plant is similar to a part of itself. This property makes them interesting from a mathematical point of view. The fern pattern can be described as a fractal that can be mathematically generated, thus being reproducible at any scale. We can zoom-in indefinitely and never run out of ferns.

Fractals are exquisite structures produced by nature, hiding in plain sight all around us. Far from being a mathematical curiosity, this zoom symmetry can be found everywhere in nature - once you know to look for it.

Fractals can be found everywhere in the world around you, from a humble fern to the structure of the universe on the largest of scales.


Nature has played a joke on the mathematicians. The 19th-Century mathematicians may have been lacking in imagination, but Nature was not. – F J Dyson, as quoted by Benoît Mandelbröt, The Fractal Nature of Geometry

But we should not need to resort to having to jump through loops to prove this. As the articles say you just have to stop and look closely and you will see the fractals.

I didn't introduce the Madelbrot set but it is kind of related as the thread is about Ai debunking ancient Egyptian tech. The Madelbrot and Barnsley leaf are Ai generated mathmatical patterns. But they are also found in nature and the ancient Egyptian works.

Is that a coincident or is there something to ancient Egyptian tech that tapped into this natural geometry that helped them produce such works and the signatures they leave.

Your creating another logical fallacy of either and or. Its neither of the above. Its my understanding of the Madelbrot set of its basic principles for determing the number sets that go into any Madelbrot pattern.

No you went into how they are formed. I asked a simple question that relates back to when you said that the generalised Madelbrots were not Mandelbrot sets. I asked a simple question that did not need all the semantics.

All I wanted to know is do the generalised Madelbrot sets conform to the finite number iterations just like the main Mandelbrot set does. Its a simple yes or no.

I'm making it as simple as I can lol. Its not a hard question to answer. Yes it does or no its more complicated than that. Then I will ask you why is it complicated. Does that mean the generalised ones are allowing iterations that go outside the finite iterations. Then we can go from there. I may say its too complicated so forget it lol. But I need these answers first which you are not doing. At least to my direct questions. Everything but.

Did I say that. I don't think I would have said it like your implying. What exactly did I say. Can you find it as I cannot be bothered. You seem to know what I said so you mkust have access to it.

So far your observations have been wrong.

Yet you still cannot answer my simple question. The one I asked originally. I explained I am not up on math. Understand the basic concepts but not the nitty gritty. Bit like genetics.

So I am breaking it down as to how I understand things regarding the Madelbrot set in realtion to its patterns reflecting nature. Thats all I want to know.

This is pure comedy, the answer to your question is as plain as day if you ever decided to at least make the effort to comprehend my posts on the subject.
I am going to leave it as an exercise for you to find out as I know from previous examples you are blinded by your own ignorance and bigotry of refusing to accept anything that opposes your POV.
As stated previously having to ask the question in the first place makes you a novice on the subject.

In the meantime if there are any posters who are not sure about the nature of the question or where the answers are in the thread, send me a PM.

Well if that's the question you're working towards, then you have clearly departed scientific thinking .. and so I rest my case.

Let us know when you/if you uncover some ancient Egyption carvings showing the four below affine transformations describing the Barnsley leaf pattern, (LOL):

As we all know the jug handles are actually tiny jugs with their own jug handles that are themselves tiny jugs with handles and so far on down until the jugs are smaller than the charge radius of the electron and it doesn't stop there...

Well if that's the question you're working towards, then you have clearly departed scientific thinking .. and so I rest my case.

Let us know when you/if you uncover some ancient Egyption carvings showing the four below affine transformations describing the Barnsley leaf pattern, (LOL):

The transformations probably look hieroglyphic to the individual proving his point.;)

I am not saying that they copied exactly the Barnsley leaf or the Madelbrot. This is just another logical fallacy of false equivelance. We also know that the Barnely leaf is not exactly in the Madelbrot set. So does that dispel the validity of the Barnsley leaf.

I am saying aspects of the ancient Egyptian works have elements of the same geometry as the Madelbrot and the Barnsley leaf. For example the Madelbrot set contains the Goldren ration and the Golden ration is found in the predynastic vases and statues.

Guess what, the Golden ratio is also found in fractals which are in the Bransley leaf.

Is that just a coincident or what.

The golden ratio, also known as phi, appears in fractals and in many natural and artistic phenomena:

Thats not too far from the truth actually. It was found that even the tiniest radials conformed to the Goldren ration and that the lug handles were perfectly aligned with the rest of the vase down to the micron level. So yes the precision is down to the micron level.

Maybe not the electron but who knows. If this natural geometry is found in nature then maybe it does go down to the electron lol.

.. If this natural geometry is found in nature then ...
Seeing as geometry was originally developed by humans to objectively describe what we mean whenever we use the term 'nature', the notion of it being 'found in nature' is completely nonsensical double-talk.

I guess that's what @Hans Blaster means by 'you're killing' him .. and I'll add to that by saying that you're also 'killing me'!
But why?
