I'm nowhere near your level of understanding these things, but I find it amazing that games of chance that existed eons before computers and current technology stand up to that technology.

Dr. Beno t B. Mandelbrot, Ph.D., (born November 20, 1924) is a Jewish American mathematician, best known as the father of fractal geometry .

Beno t Mandelbrot was born in Poland, but his family moved to France when he was a child; he is an American citizen and was educated in France. Mandelbrot now lives and works in the United States. He is Sterling Professor of Mathematical Sciences, Emeritus at Yale University; IBM Fellow Emeritus at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center; and Battelle Fello... [ More ]

Keep in mind that fractals don't just extend into the infinitesimal... it also extends into the infinite... like the the Combinatorial Fratalization.

THE MANDELBROT SET

The Mandelbrot set, named after Benoit Mandelbrot, is a fractal. Fractals are objects that display self-similarity at various scales. Magnifying a fractal reveals small-scale details similar to the large-scale characteristics. Although the Mandelbrot set is self-similar atmagnified scales, the small scale details are not identical to the whole. In fact, the Mandelbrot set is infinitely complex. Yet the process of generating it is based on an extr... [ More ]
