I Conceived And Developed A New Geometry

Pictures Were Completely Eliminated From Mathematics; In Particular When I Was Young This Happened In A Very Strong Fashion.

The Existence Of These Patterns [fractals] Challenges Us To Study Forms That Euclid Leaves Aside As Being Formless, To Investigate The Morphology Of The Amorphous. Mathematicians Have Disdained This Challenge, However, And Have Increasingly Chosen To Flee From Nature By Devising Theories Unrelated To Anything We Can See Or Feel.

For Much Of My Life There Was No Place Where The Things I Wanted To Investigate Were Of Interest To Anyone.

I Was Asking Questions Which Nobody Else Had Asked Before, Because Nobody Else Had Actually Looked At Certain Structures. Therefore, As I Will Tell, The Advent Of The Computer, Not As A Computer But As A Drawing Machine, Was For Me A Major Event In My Life. That's Why I Was Motivated To Participate In The Birth Of Computer Graphics, Because For Me Computer Graphics Was A Way Of Extending My Hand, Extending It And Being Able To Draw Things Which My Hand By Itself, And The Hands Of Nobody Else Before, Would Not Have Been Able To Represent.

A Formula Can Be Very Simple, And Create A Universe Of Bottomless Complexity.
