Mathematical ModelBy Eric Heller

Mathematical model Computer model of a repeated mathematical operation iteration to generate a random wave The iteration involved random drawing of sets of parallel lines The ends of these lines are seen around the edge of the pattern Because the positioning of the lines was random it formed this central pattern approximating a random wave A random wave is an example of quantum chaos where quantum wavepackets are added at random If the parallel lines had been added at regular angles instead of at random then a quasicrystal would have been formed see image A Created as an artwork by Professor Eric Heller Similar techniques were used by the artist Sol Le Witt
