I think the name, "Inductive Fractals", that I have used to describe my explorations, is a better choice for my work, in that it is more descriptive of the fundamental of delaying iterations, that is a key element in the set of fractal algorithms that I put forward in: http://spanky.triumf.ca/pub/fractals/formulas/noel.frm and http://spanky.triumf.ca/pub/fractals/formulas/noel1.frm with matching parameter sets in: http://spanky.triumf.ca/pub/fractals/params/noel.par and http://spanky.triumf.ca/pub/fractals/params/noel1.par This is all quite old stuff, that has been on the web for at least ten years, and in my own collections for long before that. I see no reason to change anything now. Others can adopt the term or not if they find it useful or if it overlaps there own work. I won't be offended either way. regards, Noel Giffin
