We have some fractal info here: >. http://hypography.com/forums/physics...of-nature.html

Here's a classic worth rementioning.

Chaos Downloads from Rudy Rucker's Wesbsite

This is a shareware release of James Gleick's CHAOS: the Software.

You run the program by opening Windows explorer and clicking on one of the following six batch file names. (We used to have an master CHAOS.BAT, but modern versions of Windows don't support that file, so now CHAOS.BAT just lists the names of six batch files.)

MANDEL.BAT Mandelbrot sets and variations.
MAGNETS.BAT Magnets and pendulum.
ATTRACT.BAT Strange attractors.
GAME.BAT Barnsley's iterated function system fractals.
FORGE.BAT Fractal forgeries of mountains, clouds, etc.
TOY.BAT Cellular automata.

MANDEL.BAT. A very fast Mandelbrot set program, incorporating: quadratic and cubic Mandelbrots, various fill patterns, quadratic and cubic Julias, and the gnarly "cubic Mandelbrot catalog" set I call the Rudy set. The image in the background of this page is the RHORSE.FRP parameter set for the Rudy set.

MAGNETS.BAT. A Pendulum and Magnets program showing chaotic physical motion.

ATTRACT.BAT. A Strange Attractors program showing some of the Hall of Famers as the Lorenz Attractor, the Logistic Map, the Yorke Attractor, the Henon Attractor, etc.

GAME.BAT. A "Chaos Game", which is a Barnsley Fractals program showing Iterated Function System fractals such as the famous "fern".

FORGE.BAT A "Fractal Forgeries" program that shows mountain ranges based on random fractals.

TOY.BAT. A "Toy Universes" program that shows some cellular automata.
