Re: non musical looping

  Another interesting idea to me is the M set in fractal geometry, which
represents an iterative process which modifies a value, and then begins
again with the modified value to then modify it again, and so on and so on
and so on.  The mod is simple but generates complex results which repeat.
These can be musical or non-musical, and also show up in human neural
networks and retinal patterns...
