Within the set functions of the form Z=Z^2+C decay to a limited number of repeating values. The starting value for these interations was Z0 = 0+0i and the system was run for 1E5 iterations before testing for repetition.
Here Fixed-Points are white (a single value). Binary systems with each value mapped to the other value by the function in Red. Triple systems in Blue and Quaternary systems in Green.
Are there any values of C forming systems that never repeat?
Looking at the arrangement of “dusts” there is a definite pattern. It appears to involve some level of reflection and rotation. The sense I formed is like walking into a hallof mirrors with the object image being broken up and distorted by the function. Is this pattern fractal and exist at lower scales?
Regarding fixed points. So the repetative use of the function gradually removes information from the system until the path collapses into a repeating system. Reversing the function now cannot retrace the path. The information is lost.
Given a fixed point how many points in the set collapse to this point? Is there a method to reverse it?
The existence of dynamic systems with more than 1 state suggests that the SRH should not be concerned with the point itself, but rather the system of values/terms which provide something like a “hermaneutic circle”. Given 1 point we can travel to all the others, but we cannot leave the system. In Russel’s Principia rather than just a single statement which maps to itself via Godel Numbering we can have any number of closed loops. A contradiction can be sort in any of these loops by creating a mirror image of the loop using negation. Because the system is defined by the logic of the loop, the negative mirror image can be easily constructed to contradict the logic. I am provable/I am not provable.
Julia Sets
For the function Z = Z^2+(0.4 + 0.6i) the fixed point Zf occurs where Zn+1 == Zn. There are always 2 solutions for every function.
Zf1 = 0.983976 - 0.619865 i
Zf2 = 0.0160238 +0.619865 i
Plotted on the Julia set:
Interestingly the symetrical points in the other 2 quadrants iterate immediately to these 2 fixed points.
Clearly fixed points are integral to the set, marking here the centre of the cross and the end of the long branch. However unclear what special position they hold in the structure.
The original guess was that fixed points are strange attractors. They determine the anchors for the structures. Perhaps this is still partly true.
Logistic Equation
This is much simpler to explore. The question is why does repeated application of a function decay it. The suggestion is decrease of entropy and loss of information when we apply a function. To process of mapping increases the order but uses energy. And under what conditions does it decay to a fixed, binary etc system. Is a chaotic system “really” chaotic does it not increase order at all, or is it just very slow.
Remember the system bouncing between the Quadratic and the y=x line as a way to visualise the process. Why do only certain curves create bifurcation.
