Description
Today, PadleyWood Enterprises announces the launch of a new prototype integrated chip, codenamed simply G4. The chip is built to a fractal design that can simultaneously escalate and delegate tasks within its own holographic architecture according to the current level of complexity. With 4G!(2)B* integrated RAM and a clock speed of 4.2G!(2)Hz*, this is set not only to raise the roof of computing but to blow it off.I'm gonna plug this baby in
*for the benefit of non-mathematicians (and that includes me
), the !(2) symbol denotes 'binary factorial' (a.k.a. 'fractorial') e.g. 8!(2) = 8 x 4 x 2. 4G!(2) = 4294967296!(2), a fairly large number...Pure Apophysis

You have made eye candy for a person momentarily fascinated by squares (me)!

Beautiful work!
I love science & art combitation...actually I studied science (Pharmaceutical).
RIGTH TO FAVS!!!!!!!

Your color choices really enhance the micro chip look. Maybe there is a future in fractally designed micro chips, some new approach where the chip grows when it is needed to speed up fractal renderings.

Thanks! For some reason, the parameters didn't autosave with this and so I've lost the identity of the gradient 
But, yes, there's certainly a spot of wishful thinking in the tongue-in-cheek description, perhaps partly inspired by the theories of holographic data storage - if it works for the static, perhaps there's a way of employing it dynamically...

An incredibly detailed design and the most beautiful color combo. Excellent work..and you're wit is pretty cool, too.

I can see why Ian. Your very welcome.

No limits to the Serpinski Triangle. I only assume this is the case of course.
Very nice image Ian.

I've seen these around and assumed the same myself, until I stumbled upon this little hint . It was great when the first one finally clicked into place, then the parameters didn't autosave, I reconstructed it next day with the transforms in a different order, and it was even better

Great work. This looks like a silk wall carpet to me

I think I'm adopting this as a Rorschach test for geekdom - that's the third fabric-based comment

oooh getting all technical on us now huh? hehe. nice rendition of a chip....

I wonder how many would have fallen for this and its little write-up if published on a semi-technical blog on, well, what better date than April 1st

at least a few LOL.. there are always a few....

I'm sure I once adopted a variant of that as my third law ("There's always one", I think it went). Damned if I can remember what #1 and #2 were...

For the true non-mathematicians like me (LOL), this looks like a fractal quilt. As an art quilt, this would be beautiful! Great use of colors and the different areas are well-defined by color and light and lines.

A quilt? Show me the hands that could fashion this, and I'll have them trace the Mandelbrot set on my back... with massage oil

If I were still quilting and had the inclination, I could make a facsimile of this. I'd use 1" as the guide and use lots of pieces that were 1" square finished size. It would be a fairly big quilt and it would take a while to find the right fabrics and sew it together, but I could do it.
Get out the oil and warm it up.

1", eh? That quilt would need to cover a modest village to get the required detail

No, not that huge. Look at the horizontal tan bars (for lack of another way to say this) and you'll see above or below them are green and white-ish areas. If those are 1" wide, you can see that this would be about a queen size quilt. I would use patterned fabrics and cheat on the detail. As I said, it would be a facsimile, not an exact duplicate.
Warm up that oil.
