      Okay so I know that among most of you things such as page counts and fav numbers are meaningless, I too feel that way.... unless they are wrong.  Just so that if you happen to ever look at my statistics you don't think "holy crap this guy is freaking beloved" or some such nonsense I would note first that I have a single piece that, for reasons beyond me, has 24,577 favs.  In that I mean it really doesn't, but a ghost in the machine seems to like it.  The dA staff told me that they are aware this happens occasionally and thanks, bye.  I feel like a dork even bringing this up but honesty is important to me.  I would turn off the counter but statistics are fun personally.  I like things like this "Every 12.5 days revscrj uploads a new deviation, and it's usually on a Sunday"- it makes me chuckle, which is enough reason to leave them on.  So thats my little bit of quirk and neurosis for the day.  Ta.

Summery: disregard my stats regarding favs.  Dont put too much stock into any of them.

Why Fractals?

3 min read
  There is a shape to the universe- a form inherent in all things that move through time-space.  It exists in the literal physical shape of trees to the way that a new piece of slang becomes accepted as a proper piece of language, or the difficulty curve in how a new skill is learned.  This shape can illustrate the life of stars and the shedding of subatomic particles from radioactive dust, it can explain apathy and demonstrate the power of small acts.  It is a cascade and inescapable.

  It starts so simple that it is practically not worth the mention for example, if one were learning guitar: quality = calloses + total-time-played, callouses = amount-of-play-time-possible, but play-time = pain * time-now-playing and yet play-time = callouses + callouses/pain.  This creates a loop where the more you play the more you hurt, but the more you hurt the longer you can play, the longer you play the greater the quality of your playing.  So you see why one must suck at something or hurt by it before the equation begins to show its exponential growth.   

  It starts so simple and yet that math (and know: math is a language just like English and that is all it is) can be applied everywhere.  The complexity of one formula overlaps into another forming a harmonic distortion and syncronicity, or epiphany, or growth spurt or [insert 'leveling' variable here].  Where there is movement through time there is the form of this at work.  In the electron shell's probability fields there is the demonstration of its fingerprint.

  It starts so simple, a fractal: just a few letters, some punctuation marks, and a number or two. Then this simplicity it repeated over and over to determine specks of color, causing lines of motion, building structures of beautiful complexities and unexpected recognizable familiarity.  When I work on fractals I witness a reaffirmation of the sacred order to thing, but not like a monk who sacrifices and flagellates but like someone who just got new glasses and is overjoyed because they didnt realize there was so much to see everywhere.

  It starts so simple, and speaks so much.  THIS is 'why fractals'.

  So I just go to check my DA messages and what to my surprise I have a notice that tells me a Deviant who wishes to remain anonymous has given me a year membership!  Funny thing, I needed a little reaffirmation on the subject of the generosity and goodness of people as lately things have been pretty bleak- which is a big thing for me to say as I am like a weed: leave a crack to the soil, or a root in the dirt and I will grow.  

  I hope, whomever you are, that you are secure and comfortable so that the charity I shall enjoy does not come at the expense of the discomfort of the good.

  I hope, whomever you are, that the world returns to you 10 fold this kindness.

  I hope, whomever you are, that you know I am grateful. 

  So- now to kick the tires on this membership thing :)
