There are many ways to interpret a fractal ; a diode does appear simplistic , however this is a building block of the transistor and logic circuits . The resonant LCr diode circuit exhibits chaotic behavior with period doubling occuring at the intervals expected ; until drowned out by possibly 1/f noise . An even simpler linear circuit consisting of a metal plate with high resistance connections around the boundary is used by various high energy research institutes , possibly CERN , to measure particular characteristics of particles . This information goes a fair way to proving or disproving a number of theories , including string & quantum theories . ----- Original Message ----- From: JackOfTradeZ@comcast.net To: fractint@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Monday, March 30, 2009 1:19 PM Subject: Re: [Fractint] Diode Brings back memories - I'm an electronix tinkerer from way back, nothing recent though, just computers etc. "" Why attempt this ; because a better , more interesting insight might be obtained .

I'm attempting to model a diode in QuickBasic and compare the results with the free demo version of TopSpice that I use to prototype small circuits . Once this is reasonably accurate I shall attempt to write a *.frm file to do the same ; with extension to the complex plane , for Fracint and WinFrac . James Glieck's book illustrates a cyclical chemical reaction with eddies of various sizes and duration . A Scientific American article discussed the possibility of chaotic chemical behavior as being a fundamental process of life and as being a better description than just those based upon the limited concepts of thermodynamics. ----- Original Message ----- From: JackOfTradeZ@comcast.net To: fractint@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Monday, March 30, 2009 1:19 PM Subject: Re: [Fractint] Diode Brings back memories - I'm an electronix tinkerer from way back, nothing recent though, just computers etc. "" Why attempt this ; because a better , more interesting insight might be obtained .

Please keep us updated on the result, and how well it works out. Would be interesting to see some of your .PAR files using the new formula.
After an extended search on the internet and considerable testing I'm now able to provide you with a preliminary model and fractint formula for a diode . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maryetta Campbell" <Maryetta.C@Earthlink.net> To: <fractint@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2009 3:55 AM Subject: Re: [Fractint] Diode

I took a quick look at the attached .FRM you sent with your email. And I was wondering if you have any .PAR files that you have created to use this particular formula?? If so, would you mind sending those to this List so that we may see an example of your images??

I suppose I should learn how to generate a *.par file ; if possible from within WinFract . In the meantime here are the parameters from the WinFract menu . After the first image is generated you can zoom into a region , as usual . I shall attempt to attach a few sample images .

As there have been a few glitches , I shall try again. Hopefully you receive the *.par and *.frm files , as attachments . Please note that the *.par file looks for the *.frm file in the C:\Winfract\ directory ; you may need to edit the *.par file to look elsewhere for the *.frm file . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul N.

Please find attached the relevant *,frm AND *.par files . You may need to edit the *.par file so that it looks in a directory other than C:\Winfract\ for the *.frm file . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maryetta Campbell" <Maryetta.C@Earthlink.net> To: <fractint@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2009 3:55 AM Subject: Re: [Fractint] Diode
