Fractal Recursion

... may this be a recursion following fractal rules? "... fractal ... denotes a shape that is recursively constructed or self similar ..." "... fractal ... a shape that appears similar at all scales of magnification ..." [Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia] " ... recursion specifies ... and then defining rules to break down complex cases into simpler cases ... " [Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia] "For example, the following is a recursive definition of person's ancestors:

• One's parents are one's ancestors (base case);
• The parents of any ancestor are also ancestors of the person under consideration (recursion step)."

[Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion] If the breakdown rules follows the laws of fractal shapes you will come up to a second level recursion or a fractal recursion. "... It’s an infinite spiraling curvature of double helix around their coherent line of symmetry in its center (gravity of space/time), which is in its turn coiled in its own frame of reference; hence one of two equal and opposite spirals of double/helix within/without a double helix. It has no beginning and end, because the only beginning and end of all its fractal recursions is right here and now. All infinity of exponentially larger and smaller curvatures (light speed difference) begins and ends here and now. ..." [http://www.prophetsmanual.com/content/index.cfm?navID=20&itemID=20] "A Fractal Theory of the Origin and Meaning of the Universe ... The fractal recursion ... is obvious. " [http://www.schoolofwisdom.com/cosmo.html] I listed here some statements on different kinds of the phenomena of fractal recursion. None of this are my personal opinions on this topic. The interesing is that in some views recursion and fractal laws seem to have an evident influence or are influenced to see the world.

Willi’s “TWiki” Style

Willi’s “TWiki” style When analyzing character text (e.g. readme.txt, license.txt, register.txt) this will guide you to the following “TWiki” style for writing structured text that is readable as text and as transformed XHTML page. *** Header <h1>Header</h1> valid only if at the beginning of a line ** Header <h2>Header</h2> valid only if at the beginning of a line * Header <h3>Header</h3> valid only if at the beginning of a line Header: <h4>Header</h4> Valid only if the ‘:’ is the last character in this line and the Text starts at the beginning of the line. *** Header: alternative representation of an Header 1 ** Header: alternative representation of an Header 2 * Header: alternative representation of an Header 3

Header
******

alternative representation of an Header 1 Valid, only if the line follows directly at the beginning of the next line

Header
======

alternative representation of an Header 2 Valid, only if the line follows directly at the beginning of the next line

alternative representation of an Header 3 Valid, only if the line follows directly at the beginning of the next line - a - b - c <ul> <li>a</li> <li>b</li> <li>c</li> </ul> bullet item + a + b + c <ol> <li>a</li> <li>b</li> <li>c</li> </ol> list items summing up 1) a 2) b 3) c Alternative representation of an ordered list Only valid if the line starts with the ‘1)’ signiture 1. a 2. b 3. c Alternative representation of an ordered list Only valid if the line starts with the ‘1.’ Signiture. Also possible ‘1.1.2’, etc. A. a B. b C. c Alternative representation of an ordered list Only valid if the line starts with the ‘A.’ signiture chr(10), chr(13) <br/> * * * <hr/> Only valid if it starts at the beginning of the line. Use three or more lines ***** Alternative representation of a horizontal line = = = <hr/> Only valid if it starts at the beginning of the line. Use three or more lines ===== Alternative representation of a horizontal line - - - <hr/> Only valid if it starts at the beginning of the line. Use three or more lines ----- Alternative representation of a horizontal line

Our virtual world is flexible

People who have to deal with numbers like to use E*cel. People who have to deal with lists like MS-Execl and people who have to deal with tables like E*cel. They can start with one cell entering their data. When the need more information they can enter more information around the first entered data. They can enter data to the right and below. For those who are more skilled they can also enter data above and to the left (i.e. inserting new column and rows or moving the data they have entered to a different area). They do not need some developer to create a table and enter or import/copy their data to play around with it.
