There are many ways to
interpret a fractal ; a diode does
appear simplistic ,
however this is a building block of the
transistor and logic circuits .
The resonant LCr diode circuit
exhibits chaotic behavior with period
doubling occuring at the intervals expected
; until drowned out by
possibly 1/f noise .
An even simpler linear circuit
consisting of a metal plate with high
resistance connections around the boundary
is used by various
high energy research institutes , possibly
CERN , to measure particular
characteristics of particles . This
information goes a fair way to proving
or disproving a number of theories ,
including string & quantum theories .

Brings back memories - I'm an electronix tinkerer from way
back, nothing recent though, just computers etc.
"" Why attempt this ;
because a better , more interesting insight might be
obtained
.
Has anyone on this list delved into this
?""
If anyone can code the diode equation into something the
fractint formula parser can understand, and make a "diode" fractal, and it
loox cool enuf, I will try to animate it.
It seems that many natural
phenomenon, (like chemistry, my profession), can be modelled to some extent
with fractals, often leading to interesting and unexpected
results.
stay amazed!
