As to complexity, why go to fractals?
It is axiomatic that there are an infinite number of
points on a line. One dimension, no waiting.
As to Dehammers "edges", well this one is more
for D.A.,
At this point I have to ask some possibly foolish
questions.
Long ago I had the oportunity to ask a question regarding
the Big Bang, and was told it was thought to have
origionated as "a fluctuation in the quantum field".
There were other questioners, and I did not get to ask the
next question:
If there is a field, it must be defined in a "SPACE",
(not neccessarily similar to what we call space), and
for a fluctuation to occur requires "TIME", (not
neccessarily.......etc.).
If the field & fluctuation are described, don't the
descriptions entail minmum conditions for a frame,
(at least so many dimensions, etc.), for the
"SPACE" / "TIME" in which they are presumed to have
existed?
Would the universe continue to be definable within
that frame?
Would it have a shape within that frame, and boundaries?
