The Julia Set Poem by Tushar Ray

The Julia Set is a mathematical formulation created by Guston Julia. In its quadratic polynomials form the Julia set gives rise to the famous Mandelbrot set with different c-values, which upon iteration and plotting generates amazing repeats of patterns.

Richard Feynman (1965 Nobel Laureate) , once said "Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry". I believe the Julia Set (Chaos theory) beautifully expresses the same ideas thru iteration of its mathematical formulation. Back in 2005 when I was first looking intensely while trying to understand the scientific basis of the amazing portraits created by the Julia set, I arrived at the conclusion that the mathematical iterative part of the Julia formulation is nothing but a structured expression of the 'Infinite Mind". We can see and feel "the same fabric" weaving the patterns but cannot express it giving a verbal description, because it always stays beyond language. So, I had to express my feelings on Julia set poetically. About our creative universe Albert Einstein said, ""The universe is pure geometry, and pure geometry is pure mathematics, and pure mathematics is pure thought. Therefore the universe is a giant thought, and we are created in God's image because we think."
