To be hseont, my Mandelbrot and Julia images are a long distance from my current area of research, which involves something called the Assouad dimension, and has been focusing more on self-similarities. I'm also only in my first year, so haven't gotten as deep into things as I might. If you are interested in what Kawahira is doing, your best bet would probably be to read the thesis and paper linked at the top of the page you linked to.xander

I am a weorhause worker in a large city.I found this convo through a Tweet.I think the title of the essay is misleading.The objective of the writer's essay is to point to a distinction between patterns of relationship strength and analysis of facts.My reply is insignificant. It reminds me of the Sonic Youth song Pattern Recognition The previous reply expanded the thread w/ a motif of its own: the archivit's perspective on pattern/fact aids in her own way.I am a weorhause worker and I think patterns are equal to facts when you are analysing material. If you add analysis/archivazation you are going to be takling about the flow of material. I don't mean rhyme flow here. I mean what goes where, what size, etc. and what is it in?
