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

2018-07-01 16:23:06 UTC  

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

2018-07-01 16:23:31 UTC  

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

2018-07-01 16:23:37 UTC  

i had not thought of that though

2018-07-01 16:24:00 UTC  

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

2018-07-01 16:24:08 UTC  

Because they follow a single pattern to infinity

2018-07-01 16:24:11 UTC  

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

2018-07-01 16:24:26 UTC  

Almost always yes

2018-07-01 16:24:36 UTC  

2nd law isn’t really a *law*

2018-07-01 16:24:41 UTC  

Especially on small scales

2018-07-01 16:24:52 UTC  

My dick is quantum entangled with your mom's puss

2018-07-01 16:24:56 UTC  

right so lets take a signal for example

2018-07-01 16:25:08 UTC  

since the space it travels throught increases over a dictance

2018-07-01 16:25:21 UTC  

then the signal loses potency/energy over longer distances

2018-07-01 16:25:40 UTC  

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

2018-07-01 16:25:48 UTC  

this is where you get branching patterns

2018-07-01 16:25:51 UTC  

Fractals have literally nothing to do with it

2018-07-01 16:25:55 UTC  

like in blood vessels

2018-07-01 16:26:11 UTC  

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

2018-07-01 16:26:21 UTC  

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

2018-07-01 16:26:25 UTC  

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

2018-07-01 16:26:30 UTC  

like a reinforcement

2018-07-01 16:26:47 UTC  

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

2018-07-01 16:26:49 UTC  

fractals are not an action, they are an analysis

2018-07-01 16:27:02 UTC  

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

2018-07-01 16:27:24 UTC  

even a laser spreads out over distance

2018-07-01 16:27:36 UTC  

Not if perfectly collimated or whatever the term is

2018-07-01 16:27:44 UTC  

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

2018-07-01 16:27:47 UTC  

In a vacuum

2018-07-01 16:27:57 UTC  

Attenuation and Dispersion

2018-07-01 16:28:24 UTC  

In space, if the laser was shot perfectly straight and all parallel, there would be no dispersion of the light if space was a perfect vacuum

2018-07-01 16:28:34 UTC  

so does entropy have to do with the expansion of space?

2018-07-01 16:28:38 UTC  

so every once in awhile they put in boxes or signal redistributors

2018-07-01 16:28:47 UTC  

to sort of reclaim /boost it

2018-07-01 16:29:02 UTC  

space isnt real

2018-07-01 16:29:04 UTC  

like how if you have a really long cable you need a power injector

2018-07-01 16:29:06 UTC  

It doesn’t “have to do with it” as in it’s not a cause, but it does generally mean there is a higher entropy

2018-07-01 16:29:17 UTC  

Yeah but bill that’s just due to the medium

2018-07-01 16:29:47 UTC  

fractals are literally why we have 3g

2018-07-01 16:30:11 UTC  

recievers are bult with a fractals design

2018-07-01 16:30:30 UTC  

Are you calling anything using crystals dependent on fractals
