Random Thought of the Day


Contest Day 4 - Chaos Theory + Fractals

Hi there and welcome to the fourth edition of my daily competition.

Chaos Theory is quite difficult to explain in simple terms. Wikipedia has the best definition I could find.

Chaos theory is an interdisciplinary theory stating that, within the apparent randomness of chaotic complex systems, there are underlying patterns, interconnectedness, constant feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals, and self-organization. ... This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos.

And then there is the butterfly effect...

“It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world. - Chaos Theory” - Aleatha Romig

If you start to pay close attention to the randomness all around us patterns will begin to emerge!

What are Fractals ?

Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. Driven by recursion, fractals are images of dynamic systems – the pictures of Chaos. Taken from the Fractal Foundation


Quote of the Day

"Love the life you live. Live the life you love." -Bob Marley


I have started this competition in the hope that this will prove to be a fun and interesting way to get people to interact and engage with each other here on #proofofbrain

The name of the contest is deliberately a bit vague to give myself more room to maneuver when it comes to the subject matter and content.

Basically each post could be about anything really. Ranging from a memorable quote to a story or maybe just a random question about life itself. Literally any subject is open for discussion but I will try and not let it get too weird !

You are also welcome to talk about any other subject you like.

To enter the competition you simply have to make a comment on this post and I will do a daily random draw for 3 lucky winners.

Prizes

1st Place = 1 POB + 1 Upvote 2nd Place = 0.50 POB + 1 Upvote 3rd Place = 0.25 POB + 1 Upvote

If it all goes well I will increase the prizes very soon. I also intend on powering up 100% of the votes from each daily contest in order to increase the Upvote prize.


Congratulations To Yesterdays Winners

1st Place - @pthker2010 2nd Place - @riandeuk

Rules - Respect and Be Respected (PLUR)

Thanks for reading.

Peace, Graham.
