So… here we are again… I don’t know if I’ve ever told you guys, but I look forward to FractalFriday at least as much as you, you can rest assured of that. It gives me motivation to keep creating new fractals, which mostly I am compelled to do anyhow, but last year, when I took a hiatus, it was a little difficult to get back into the swing of things again… no doubt I needed that break. but I’m glad it’s over!!!
ok, here’s a little cosmic tune first…
and, perhaps, a little cosmic / comic (?) tune…

PICASSO-MADE-ME-DO-IT
GHOSTS OF RIBBONS PAST
PRETTY IN PEACH AND BLEU
Thanks to each and every one for stopping in and taking a peek… I’m rather pleased with this week’s batch (carefully patting myself on the back so as not to break my arm)… They were all quite inspired… in fact, I felt rather “taken over” while creating fractal #2, hence the title!!!
Great weekend to everyone and share some love, just for the heck of it!!!
One final question – does anyone care to share if they have a preference on the size I make these in the post? There’s a BIG difference between this size and the next, so, I’s just wonderin…? I mean you can always enlarge them, right for better viewing!?!?!?
love and hugs and balance to all…

I hope some day you’ll join us…
and the world can live as one!”

Well I have no idea how you do them, but they are quite stunning!
You are most kind, my dear!! So sorry for the lateness of response… and thanks for stopping by!!
🙂
Starman and bight stars! Ribbons definitely has it tied up with Peach. Energized as usual
Indeed… sp sorry so late… Thank you for your insightful comments!!
🙂
I like the last one! And Jen loves Starman. woo woo woo!
Well all righty then – audio AND visual favorites!!! How pawesome, rumpydog!!! And tell Jen I really love that Bowie guy!!!
Thanks to both of you for stopping in this week!!!
🙂
Loved ’em, especially askew..
Me gusta 😀
Thanks – I’ve been waiting for someone to say Bless You or gesundheit… looks like me gusta is as close as I’m going to get on that one!!! Thanks so much for stopping by – hope to see you again!!!
🙂
No favorites like them all
Well, that’s very catholic of you (kidding)!!! Actually, I too have a soft spot for each, myself!!!
Thanks, Val for stopping in!!
🙂
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo…. 😀 o o o o !
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!!!
thanks, sweetie!!!

(your comment got stuck in spam folder!!! good thing I check it every now and again!!)
hugs and love…
🙂
oh nooooo… not the spam box again .. keep your fingers crossed once for 2 weeks every comment I made went there on every blog – including my own ug
These seem to load faster and are still big enough to enjoy. I rather like the last two: Ghosts of Ribbons past and Pretty in Peach and Bleu.
Cool… that is something I hadn’t thought of – how slow/fast they load… thanks Tess… I think they are all my favorites this week, but I do like Peach and Bleu too…
🙂
Ghost Ribbons for me – love the colors in it.
I like the bigger images, but clicking the thumbnails does bring it up larger..
Thanks, EG… sorry for the delayed response… busy, busy, busy and a delay on the book release… AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!
🙂
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🙂
Quite beautiful. 🙂
In my web dedicated to social sciences I deal mainly with postulates of economics, but in other webs, I deal with the false postulates of Physics, and natural sciences as a whole, giving the alternative model based in the organic cultures of life. Let us consider some of those ‘a priori’ false truths that people learn memetically as ‘dogmas’ of each science, which are needed to understand the epistemological basis of this web.
Energy and information are the 2 primary elements of the Universe. Their properties and interactions studied by the science of complexity, are inverse: Energy is spatial, big, mobile, lineal, destructive, as bodies and weapons are; information is temporal, small cyclical, still, perceptive, creative, as brains and eyes are. In the graph the 2 primary elements of the Universe, energy and information, mix and evolve, till reaching the threshold of complexity that gave light atoms living properties and now it is about to give the same life properties to metal systems. In the graph, in biological and morphological terms, we can easily recognize the ‘bodies and heads’ of humans, animals or machines, because they have a clear morphology, which corresponds to that of generic energy and information.
To fully grasp the dynamic transformations and properties of energy and information the most important quality is the inversion of its properties and the possibility to transform the forms of one property into the other. This resumes in its two fundamental equations: E x I = K (that describes any complementary system of energy and information, in space) and EI (which describes it in time as a series of flows of transformation of energy into information).
Despite their inversion, and this is the most important law of the Universe, energy and information constantly transform into each other. It is the principle of ‘conservation and transformation of energy back and forth into in/form/ation, forms in action’ which becomes the new fundamental law of the new paradigm, widening the principle of conservation of energy:
‘All energies, trans/form constantly back and forth into information, EI’
Thus the Universe is truly an eternal infinite of beats and rhythms of energy warping into dimensional form, information and informations uncoiling into spatial energy.
Energy is lineal because the line is the shortest distance between 2 points; and so it is also the fastest energetic movement. Information has cyclical forms, because cycles store maximal information in minimal space. We could summarize the formal and functional differences between energy and information (organs) in a morphological equation:
Maximal Space = Energy = Minimal Form=body Vs Maximal form = Information = Minimal Spatial extension=head
For example, the chip becomes smaller as it evolves into a better brain. Every 2 years it doubles its capacity to think, as it dwindles in size. Such process follows a generic law of evolution I call the ‘Black hole Law’, which computer scientists know as the ‘Chip paradox’ or ‘Moore Law’: maximal informative capacity= minimal spatial extension.
The reason is obvious: to think, to calculate you have to communicate in-form-ation, forms between elements of any informative system. The smaller the brain, the faster the communication that takes place within that brain and the faster you can calculate and process information in a logical manner.
It’s only a small step to translate the idea of entropy to the idea of information. Life stores information – in the localization of its chemical ingredients, in the specific functions of the metabolism, and most obviously in the base-pair sequence of the DNA molecule. We tend to think of information as a fact or a piece of data, but there’s a much more general way to define it. If you have information, you know something. Looked at the other way around, gaining information means a loss of uncertainty. The more information you have, the less unsure you are. Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Let’s take for example a single molecule of hydrogen sulfide. If you know where the person who emitted it was standing, you know exactly where it started. You have all the information you need to stay well clear. But time goes by, entropy increases, and eventually that single molecule might be anywhere in the room. So the probability of it being in any particular part of the room is low, but it’s the same everywhere. The story is the same for the entire fart. After time has passed and disorder has increased, there will be roughly equal numbers of hydrogen-sulfide molecules everywhere in the room. We can see that more information corresponds to reduced entropy or disorder.
I could go into far more complex mathematical consequences for my understanding of physics and the Universe. The first and obvious one is in information theory: since gravitation is the attractive force of the Universe, it forms, it in/forms the Universe and balances the electromagnetic arrow of expansive entropy and so the Universe will not die but will follow eternal cycles of gravitational implosion and electromagnetic explosions. The Universe is in fact a fractal, organic system, which reproduces complementary, social networks of energy and information that self-organize themselves in bigger, self-similar scales.
Even more important are the consequences for our concept of time. As I anticipated decades ago, and recently Penrose acknowledged in ‘Cycles of Time’ each mass or charge acts as a ‘small’ clock of time’, whose frequency becomes a measure of time and stores ‘information’. So time, information and gravitation are deeply interconnected, as Einstein’s Relativity proves. Those connections, which always puzzled scientists, and I have explored in depth in my books and papers on complexity at the International Society for Systems Sciences, can now be explained rationally. In essence a mass is a time vortex, and the frequency of the vortex defines the attractive power and information it carries. So there are infinite, different types of clock-rhythms in the Universe. Our mechanical clock is just one.
So far science, influenced by physicists only recognizes entropy, here defined as the arrow of motion, of energy. But the arrow of creation of form, of social evolution of parts into wholes, of points into networks is as real and fundamental as that of entropy, even if its properties are the opposite. Thus the Universe constantly switches between form and motion, stop and go, particle and wave. There is not a single entropy arrow but infinite beings, which perform cycles of time that can be entropic, creating disorder or negantropic, in/form/ative, creating order. A new methodology and language, more advanced than simple Aristotelian, unicausal logic and Euclidean mathematics is needed; a new philosophy of science, organicism, instead of mechanist, digital, abstract models of reality; an emphasis in the qualities more than the quantities; in geometry more than arithmetic; in time functions more than spatial structures; in harmony and balance and feed-back, in dual or multiple flows of communication more than in individual selfishness, in order more than entropy is needed.
Since there is not just energy and entropy as physicists believe but also information and order. The two are equally important, for example you have a lineal body of energy and a round head of information. Your cells consist of an energetic membrane and a nucleus of genetic information. Galaxies have a body of stars ordered by a central gravitational black hole. The two are complementary. The duality between energy and information is also responsible for the creation of humanity. Life first diversified into complementary genders: energetic, lineal, spatial men and cyclical, reproductive women, which hold more biological information. While a 3rd, gay sex mixes both.
Of course, we live today in a standardized world, where humans are objectified and we do not understand that the Universe is a fractal, self-reproductive, self-similar, organic system that continuously creates new forms of life.. but if you’re interested in learning more here is the link linking to the full model.

I must say, I have never received a comment such as this, especially on my innocuous fridayfractalfeatures… however, because I am an open minded individual, I will not reject this comment, simply on the basis of its (most confusing) content, (pessimistic) outlook, or its (grandiose) style. I allow every visitor to this site the privilege of deciding whether or not to look into this, person, perspective of reality or bunch of junk. I do not judge.
hopefully, you will make a critically thought out decision on your own, based on what you choose to do – read it or not… mine is not to keep it from you, mine is to share what has been given to me to make of it what you will…
I’d love any feedback you might have regarding this comment, commenter or subject matter… thanks!
(I just hope it does not contain an IED!!!)
hugs and love…
