Attractor Music
- We now have some more attractors in the
gallery,
along with some sonifications for your listening pleasure. Hopefully
I will have time to put up more information about this soon.

Img Peeker
- I wanted to try out this hypertext preprocessor called
PHP3 so I wrote a little
doodad called
ImgPeek
that picks a random image from the theory.org site
and displays it with link to its home directory.
I tried to weed out some of the less exciting pictures
(math functions, image bars, etc.).

A Dedicated Home -
Theory.org now has its own dedicated machine: crystalfield.
There were sporadic service outages during bug fixing.
A note of interest: the machine, having no formal case,
currently resides in a green plastic milk crate. :)

Mirroring XaoS Home -
Theory.org is now mirroring the XaoS pages. If you haven't
played with this wonderful wonderful software yet, CHECK IT
OUT!! Its living at:
xaos.theory.org.
Of special note are the
An introduction to fractals
mpeg movies.

Theory.org gets a "logo". Also: Old, original theory.org pages
found. -
We now have a nifty little graphic hailing in
your arrival to our site. We hope you like it and its expression.
Also, I came across the two original web pages designed
for the concept of theory.org:
fractal secondaries and
fractal period doubling.

Theory.org fractals appear in German magazine Wirtschafts Woche
(Business Week)!!! -
Brian Martin's
Birth of a Cubic Julia Set
is being used as visual stimulation in the German magazine Wirtschafts Woche's three part special on the internet. The
first issue (April 1999) is out now.

Chaos and Neurodynamics
- These are the pages to be used for a lecture entitled
"Chaos and Neurodynamics" being held at the University of California,
Santa Cruz campus' Chaos Theory class. The focus is on attractor
formation in the olfactory bulb. Lecture is to be given 12th March 1999.

Dynamical Semantics
- Lecture Notes for another UC Santa Cruz lecture, entitled:
A Quadrilogue at the Edge of Logic
- or -
An Epistemological Improvisation on Chaos and Logic,
in the spirit of Douglas Hofstatder.
Exploring the Liar's Paradox,
the Dynamical Semantics of Patrick Grim and Gary Mar,
Godel's Incompleteness Theorem and
applications to a postmodern worldview.

Gallery of Attractors
- With the arrival of pbfe (preview bfe) we now have the ability to
watch the orbits unfold out of parameter and state spaces. As we
find particularly interesting images we will put them in the gallery.
In order to spur curiousity and interest in such pictures, we will keep
the number of entries in the gallery low and the quality high.

Sonic Dynamics
- Early stages. Attempting to create a better understanding of how
particular dynamical systems behave through the use of sound.

miscommunications and errors led to the discovery of an interesting system
in R2.

XaoS
XaoS is a fast portable real-time interactive fractal zoomer.
It displays the Mandelbrot set (among other escape time fractals)
and allows smooth zooming into the fractal. Various coloring
modes are provided for both the points inside and outside the
selected set. In addition, switching between Julia and Mandelbrot
fractal types and on-the-fly plane switching is provided.
