There is a restriction on the definition of chaos in "chaos theory" that I 
might eventually address, something like "Must be topologically mixing.". I 
do not know what that means, and I doubt that it applies to [[pseudo-random 
number generator]]s.

Good fractals are commercially viable, by themselves as artwork, and it 
seems to me, with a seriously limited background in Physics, that they are 
more valuable in Art than Physics, so if ElNaschie was self-
promoting, well, there's a terrible draw.

Fractals are basically "Advanced Paint By Number", and that was my name for 
the fractint.org mailing list while I was contributing there as SherLok 
Merfy. I might go back to that and deliver an FOTW (Fractal of the Week), 
now that I've worked around some performance issues in DOS under Windows XP.
