Overview

This book presents the author's work in exploring the rich field of scale-symmetric and fractal geometry. It ties together the many examples of new and beautiful geometric structures with novel classification systems in order to clarify and map out this relatively uncharted space.The chapters demonstrate the power of the hobbyist and online community-based exploration in discovering these mathematical worlds, and the power of play and mathematical beauty in driving new innovations. This is a very visual book, with many images to help the reader to understand the underlying structures.Every example is new and developed by the author, and is chosen because it pushes the field of scale-symmetric geometry into a scarcely explored region. The results are complex and intricate but the method of generation is often simple, which allows it to be presented graphically without depending on too much mathematical syntax.This book is for a general audience with a grounding in mathematics. It is for programmers, artists, mathematicians and scientists, and certainly it is for hobbyists -- those of us who like to dabble with procedural imagery and see where it takes us.
