i guess the deeper you go into a fractal, the greater the entropy? i mean fractals are essentially a visualization of infinitely.

Yeah it’s just the entropy part isn’t true

yea

i'm still confused. about entropy. is entropy about energy?

if so, no energy in a fractal.

Nope it’s actually really complicated. I can link you a paper that they write for physics undergrads trying to understand it

Basically it is a measure of how many states, given the rules of a system, something could possibly have sort of. So like a high entropy system would be a system where given the configuration, there are tons of ways it could exist in that way. Low entropy would be the opposite

im not relating fractals to 2nd law

so it's like a binary tree that keeps branching? more and more possibilities into infinity?

thats self similarity

Ehh so it wouldn’t really make sense to consider the entropy of that

Because your rules allow for one thing. Makes more sense to consider entropy of something like particles in a box

i guess fractals are sort of a natural way to deal with entropy

i had not thought of that though

Fractals have nothing to do with entropy they would be the lowest entropy things possible

Because they follow a single pattern to infinity

but the amount of particles is finite, and entropy is always increasing, no?

Almost always yes

2nd law isn’t really a *law*

Especially on small scales

My dick is quantum entangled with your mom's puss

right so lets take a signal for example

since the space it travels throught increases over a dictance

then the signal loses potency/energy over longer distances

fractals have taught us that we need to put things in place every so often to boost that signal

this is where you get branching patterns

Fractals have literally nothing to do with it

like in blood vessels

It’s not losing signal due to some like fractal branching

yes fractals are how we measure and deal with the self similar entropy

fractals are just instructions for an intimately repeating geometric pattern. There is no loss.

like a reinforcement

How do you think that’s related to a signal I don’t get it

fractals are not an action, they are an analysis

A signal does not lose power due to anything other than interactions with the medium

even a laser spreads out over distance

Not if perfectly collimated or whatever the term is

yeah, a wave would just get stretched by expanding space. red shift / blue shift. No energy loss.

In a vacuum
