I was driving back from Sheffield Wednesdays training ground when there it was in front of me, Coachman, in shiny chrome letters on the back of a caravan. The radio was playing Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry, so I put the two together.
After Michael Barnsley ,who explored a sort of fractal known as the Iterated Function System.</p> You start with shapes plotted on a graph, and iterate the shapes through a calculation process that transforms them into other shapes on the graph. Starting with four shapes, one of which is squashed into a line segment (this becomes the fern's rachis or stalk), you apply the shapes to the calculation to generate more shapes, feed them back into the calculation process, etc. Eventually a pattern emerges that bears a startling resemblance to a fern, if you choose the right starting shapes and positions. The longer you continue the iteration process, the more intricate the tiny detail in the pattern becomes.</p> Barnsley generated the fractal pattern that's now known as Barnsley's Fern.</p> </p> </p>
