N-dimensional data-sets become much more interesting when you can calculate dimensionality as a means of ascribing cuts and weights to the graph and its edges. Its quite arbitrary somewhat (how do you represent n-dimensions in 2d space), but fun.

Here are some fractal-generating programs that implement the Mandelbrot set and many more, all with some kind of zoom capability. I was completely obsessed with this stuff in the late 80s thru mid-90s.<BR/><BR/><B>For Mac OS X:</B><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://wmi.math.u-szeged.hu/xaos/doku.php?id=downloads:main" REL="nofollow">GNU XaoS</A>, with a Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028634162538985443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235962564571583928.post-81314630641861308782007-11-21T13:06:00.000-08:002007-11-21T13:06:00.000-08:00I'm about half-frightened that that starts to make...I'm about half-frightened that that starts to make sense to me, but also fully flattered on behalf of M&M.
